    Pay with Fire (www.paywithfire.com) is offering €10 bonus to customers who sign up and verify (1 ID + 2 proof of address or 2 ID + 1 proof of address).

    See:

    No code/referral required. I signed up years ago but never verified. Did verification this afternoon and got €10 within the hour.

    It is a basic online banking service which offers IBAN/BIC. No card, no physical bank, no fees. Handles euro and sterling. I don't know if they do direct debit or standing order.

    App is quite good. It's run by Colm Lyon of Realex (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Realex_Payments)

    No they don't do direct debit or standing order but I also grabbed my €10 and quickly transferred it back to my BOI account -money might end up with Number26 or Revolut -ah the joys of finance.

    Am I the only one that seems like it's too much effort for a tenner?

    I did it sitting on my couch in about 15 minutes so unless €40 an hour is too cheap to hire you I think it's pretty good.

    I'm on over €40 an hour. Maybe that's it.

    Think this offer may have expired? I signed up, verified but didn't get the €10?

    All good, just took a little while to hit my account is all.

    The IBAN starts with IE, so Ireland.

    Signed up also, bar the free tenner I don't know if this is worth anything in practical terms but we'll see what developments are made in the coming months.

    No payment card and no Direct Debits makes you wonder what the point of this is? What's the advantages over, say, an instant access Savings account??

    Just to let people know, this was a service owned by Realex Payments, but have since spun off.

    It's a bank regulated by the Central Bank of Ireland, it's no different than opening an account with KBC or AIB or anyone else.
