Sterling account in Ireland

[Ravima]

I have received email confirmation this morning that my HSBC account has been opened. ROI address.

When I try their website, it will not accept Ireland!

Hello all,
Got confirmation from Barclays UK that they will close my account in 6 months.
The sterling had been sitting there waiting for the £ to recover, it's not money I need at the moment, so I'd prefer to wait to change it to Euro.
But now I'm being forced to close that account.
What do people suggest?
Can I open a sterling account in Ireland and leave it here for a bit longer? Who provides this? Guess it comes with quarterly fees etc.
Any other clever ideas; offshore account or something? It's money that I earned while I lived in the UK, but I'm been back in Ireland for 10 years.
And I know, I should have exchanged it pre Brexit, but my head was elsewhere!
Thanks

Boi and it’s simple enough. Depending on which account you use you Ali earn .75-2%

Thanks all. Final update. BOI NI, Sterling account has been successfully opened.
Little to no drama and they'll deal with the switching.
