It takes 1-2 working days for most payments sent from Ireland to the UK to arrive. You can make your payment online or, if you prefer, send money over the phone with the assistance of one of our experienced currency dealers. You also have the option of tracking your payments both online and over the phone.

You will not be charged transfer fees when you make an international payment via your online Moneycorp account. You’ll also enjoy a competitve exchange rate, in addition to a wide range of foreign exchange tools that are designed to help you get the most out of your money. Our forward contracts, for example, enable you to secure a fixed exchange rate for international payments that you plan on making in the future.

You will need to provide us with the following information to make a payment from an Irish account to a UK bank account:

• The recipient’s full name and UK address
• The account number of the recipient’s UK bank account
• The recipient’s International Bank Account Number (IBAN)
• The recipient’s Bank Identifier Code (BIC) or SWIFT code

Every UK bank account has an IBAN, or International Bank Account Number. This enables foreign banks to make international payments to the correct bank account.

In the UK, IBANs consist of 22 characters. They consist of the ISO country code (GB), the check digits (the numbers 29), the bank code (four characters), branch code (a six-digit sort code) and bank account number (eight digits).

Example of a UK IBAN in print format:

GB 29 NWBK 6024 0754 4073 19

Read our guides for more information on IBANs and BIC/SWIFT codes.

There is a £100,000 upper limit for personal transfers made through our online platform. Transfers made over the phone, however, have no upper limit, and so you will need to contact your Moneycorp account manager by telephone to facilitate larger payments from Ireland to the UK.
