I have an bank account in another European Country (Euro zone) and want to set up a standing order for a fixed amount each month from my current account here to that account. I called my bank (BoI) and asked them how to go about doing this and was informed that it is not possible to set up a standing order from an Irish bank to another foreign bank. I would have to physically gointo the bank and fill out the relevant forms - I would have to do this EVERY MONTH. Talk about being back in the dark ages. The lady on the phone told me that in light of all the foreign nationals in Ireland that it will be coming on line but couldn't tell me when.
I am at a loss completely to understand how on earth they cannot set this up as a continuous payment. Surely it can't be that difficult. I am able to do it no problem from my foreign account to my Irish one. Are Irish banks so backward????
