    Just wondering if there is any bank in Ireland that will put fada's on their debit cards? I know AIB dont but im curious if anybody is with a bank that does.

    I know the old excuse was the infrastructure the older banks were using would not support it, but given that there are some players to the market like Revolut and N26 you'd have to hope that someone out there could handle having accents on cards.

    Im especially thinking of the likes of German or French crowds that would be used to using umlauts on names like Günter or the acute accent in French on names like Chloé.

    Anybody?

    It would probably need a court order against a bank to spell your name properly.

    I don't know personally but I don't see why not. A name is not legal nor the same name if changed - and leaves them open to accusations of fraud. Nothwithstanding that there is the 'new' GDPR legislation that requires them to show how your name or personal data is stored on their databases and amend it accordingly of incorrect or face hefty fines.

    I think it woild be well worh pushing.

    Every other forst world country in the world can type axxurately and use modern technology to suoport their businesses -I dont see why a bank should consider itself exempt. And its not as of we are in the old days of typesetting . Irish is our official language - there is no rwason why a bank, rescued and part owned by the state,shluld refuse to adknowledge or use the legal names of its customers in an official language of this country.
