    at a guess AIB would make very little money off using a western union service when you can transfer money with AIB to another bank and pay AIB fees instead.

    IBAN code, and account code and persons name is whats required (I think).

    Not trying to offend you but its similar to if you were a baker (with a shop) and someone comes into your shop asking you to sell their bread/cakes in your shop.

    Post Offices normally cash money orders. I never heard of a bank cashing them, certainly not in Ireland.

    The Post Office is a W.U. agent and has authority to cash the money orders.
