    Hi,
    What's the procedure for closing a credit card account? The balance is zero.

    Thanks.

    I fear they'll be looking for €30 off you, before you close it, to cover the Government Card Duty....

    I don't know. I would say they would expect a letter

    Hi clonagh,

    Thanks for getting in touch with us.

    You can close your credit card account by either:
    • Calling our credit card customer service section on 0818 251 251 (or 00353 5677 57747 if you are abroad)
    • By popping into a branch of Bank of Ireland B
    • By sending in a signed written letter of request to:

      Bank of Ireland,
      Account Closures Team,
      3rd Floor Operations Centre,
      Cabinteely,
      Dublin 18.

      We would also ask before closing your credit card that you:
    • Ensure your credit card balance is cleared in full.
    • Cancel any 3rd party direct debits/subscriptions directly with a retailer.
    • And to keep in mind that the Government Stamp Duty maybe charged upon closure.


    *For more details on Government Stamp Duty can be found on www.revenue.ie

    Thanks again for your message,
    Darren.
