Receiving in Ireland
- Irish accounts use a 22-character IBAN starting with IE plus the SWIFT/BIC code; ask the beneficiary to send it as printed by their bank.
- Irish colleges quote tuition in EUR and often accept payment through platforms such as Flywire, TransferMate or Convera; a direct bank wire in EUR is usually cheaper for a full year's fee — compare the platform's quoted rate with the TT Selling rates above.
- Irish banks generally do not charge for incoming EUR SWIFT payments, though an intermediary bank may deduct a fee unless you choose the OUR charge option so an intermediary bank cannot take its fee out of the credited amount.
Ireland is 4.5 hours behind IST in summer (5.5 in winter); EUR wires typically credit the next working day.
