Hi,
I wanted to transfer money from AIB to BOI. I didnt have a current account with BOI so they setup a notice account as its a sizable amount. However when I tried to transfer, it was rejected and I found out you could only transfer from another BOI account like a current account and not externally from AIB. BOI then gave me the run around and finally I got a hold of the person that set it up yesterday who told me to get a bank draft from AIB and call into the bank and lodge it to the notice account.
Firstly they should have known I wouldnt be able to transfer from the AIB directly. She said it wouldnt be good idea to setup a current account to allow the transfer. Is there any saving BOI account that you can directly transfer from another bank without need for draft. Also if I go draft I guess I need it issued to me in my name and I need to sign it in BOI to allow the lodgement.
At this stage I do wonder if these ppl in the banks know their apples from their orange. Reading here alot of ppl dont like the idea of bank drafts so I would rather avoid if I could. Just throwing it out there as a topic
