I need to make a payment of €9,500 this afternoon and I'm wondering if there is any way to get a bank draft on a Saturday.
The amount it too much to put on my credit/debit cards and I dont own a checkbook. Any suggestions on how I could go about making the payment?
Cheers.

You can't, unless your bank is open.

If you're a member of a Credit Union and they open on Saturday they could give you a draft or a cheque?

You will need to hold a bank account in that particular bank to get a draft there. What about a postal order?

Postal money orders are limited to a few €100 I think.

I'm with Bank of Ireland. I may just need to wait until Monday

Do you specifically need a draft? Can you not transfer funds electronically?
