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.

maximoose

It was literally about 3 minutes combined work.

Took me a bit longer cos I had to go looking for a utility bill.

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

That's what I did and they were accepted

Subcomandante Marcos

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.

Where is the Bank account actually held, in the UK?

The IBAN starts with IE, so Ireland.

alwald

Signed up and sent them the docs, all in less than 5 minutes......waiting for my free 2 pints tenner . Hopefully the whole verification process won't be long.

Savman

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??

StaticNoise

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.

misstearheus

Have sent off the stuff. Pending Verification now.

celticbhoy27

Just had my account updated to verified. How soon after should i receive the 10 euro, or have i missed the boat?

maximoose

Took about 5 mins for me, they send you an email to confirm

Out of curiosity, what do you think theyl use your details for?

suave.4u

got my 10 EUR today. Thanks OP.
Transferred it straight to AIB. I will keep the app and try to use it whenever I can

AlmightyCushion

Just set up my account there. I found that taking the photos within the app didn't work. It wouldn't update and was still asking for the first document. Taking the pictures first and then selecting them from the gallery worked just fine though.

That may be a good point. Anyone tried to close the account yet?

misstearheus

Can somebody please give me an example of a Government issued Document... T.I.a.

Letter from Revenue (P21 balancing statement, tax credit certificate etc), letter from Dept of Social Protection.

I used a letter from my credit card company that showed my address and their company logo. Got the tenner within about 15 mins of the documents being verified.

misstearheus

That's what I bloody sent. Hhmmm there must be something else wrong.

suave.4u

got my 10 eur transferred to AIB..thx OP

Niemoj

Submitted passport, Garda Age Card and a mobile phone bill.

Those should all be fine right?

Does it take long for them to verify?

Greenmachine

Free tenner must check it out.

J_E

I've been pending verification for days now

Savman

Worked ok here, free money!

My Docs are after being verified- does it take long for the to apply the €10 to my account?

I contacted them via the app "contact us" and it was debited in 2 hours.
I think you have to ask for it.

I didn't ask and it was in my account after a couple of hours

I'd also be interested in an answer to this question please

I signed up for revolut last year & love it. Does this service provide anything else (aside from an IBAN) that revolut does not cater for?

Why was it debited? It should have been credited. Get back on to them for a credit of €20.

My bad .
Usually my bank account is always in "debited" state.

charlietheminxx

I could really use the extra tenner during never ending January! Will be a bit of petrol in my car. I'm pending verification at the mo
