    Hi BoI,

    I have an current account with you from the UCD branch which I no longer use.

    What is the process for closing an account?

    Can I close it in any BoI branch or do I have to go back to UCD?

    Do I need to bring any paperwork or just my ID plus bank card?

    Thank you

    Hi Static M.e.

    Thanks for getting in touch with us on Boards.ie

    To close an account you can drop into your nearest Bank of Ireland branch – you will need Photo identification (Passport, Driving Licence, Garda ID) and your account details to request to close the account.

    Alternatively, a signed written request to your branch will be accepted to close your account. If you have a balance left in your account, please advise what you would like to do with the funds.

    If you use 365 Online and are currently signed up for eStatements, please ensure to switch back to paper statements before having the account closed.

    This will ensure you are able to receive your closing statement. Once an account has closed it is automatically removed from online access.

    Contact details for your branch can be found here.

    Please let me know if you need help with anything else.

    Thanks
    Nicola

    Is there a cost for closing an account?

    I closed one in another bank a few years ago and they tried to charge me €20 stamp duty (on half of the government obviously) to close it.

    Hi Squeeonline,

    Thanks for your post.

    We do not apply a charge for closing your account; however any fees that are due to be paid on your account would be deducted from the account balance before the account is closed.

    Thanks
    Nicola
