I asked AIB on Twitter - they told me to select IBAN transfer option and I wouldn't need it.

I told AIB IBAN doesn't exist for US banks - they told me to ask the bank for their "bank code" (they said there's no other name for it).

I asked the US bank (Citibank NY) for their "bank code" - they told me there's no such thing but that they had an ABA code.

I asked AIB I could use ABA code - they said no but a sort code would work.

I told AIB there's no such thing as a sort code in the USA - they apologised for any inconvenience.

Surely someone has successfully completed a US intl. transfer from AIB? Please help
I tried putting in BIC twice and it didn't work.
