Hi,

Thank you for contacting us here on Boards.ie.

The minimum amount a bank draft can be issued for by Bank of Ireland is €500.

If you contact the company that you are making payment to they may be able to provide you with their 
account details and you could arrange to make a SEPA transfer to their account.

Thanks,
Tara C

I've the same problem. We've been BOI customers for 10+ years with multiple accounts/business relationships. 

Are you saying BOI won't/can't issue a Bankers Draft for €175 even as a courtesy to long-time clients?

Hi jesus_thats_gre

We've been in touch with our Branch Network Team and they have advised in your case Management within our Branches can make an exception for you as this is the only method of payment the Dept. of Justice and Equality offer.

Hope the information helps, if you have any further questions please do feel free to come back to us.

It is absolutely nonsencical in this dsy & age that special permission from the pope is needed to get a basic banking service like a bankdraft in a unit the customer needs. Its a sign of how utterly out of touch and dismissive they are to their customers banking needs.

I had to pay my insurance recently by postal order ffs because of this. Modern banking & understamding your customer my aras.

You are with us every step of the way making banking difficult and our stress fillled working and business lives even harder. Nul points bank of Ireland. Shambolic and utterly out of touch.
