    Hi,

    I know this has been a long outstanding question.

    I keep seeing this advert on Instagram from BOI payment solutions where a person is waving their watch at a BOI card terminal, does this mean it now works for BOI retail customers?

    BOI Payment Acceptance doesn't have anything to do with BOI's customer banking. BOIPA provide card terminals to businesses - those terminals accept payments from solutions like Google/Apple Pay, and have for years. BOI customer banking do not provide those solutions.

    Honestly, it's been nearly 5 years since Google Pay launched in Ireland. It could easily be another 5 before BOI support it. Just move bank if you want it

    Thanks, sort of guessed that, ironic one side of BOI show something the other side of the bank don't offer ....was hoping I was wrong!

    Have an account with Revolut so I can use the technology now, my BOI account is still open....for now.
