Bank of Ireland is Ireland's oldest bank and one of the two main Irish clearing banks, providing retail, corporate and investment banking with full SWIFT connectivity.
When sending a SWIFT international wire to Bank of Ireland, include the BIC BOFIIE2D in the "SWIFT/BIC code" or "Bank identifier code" field of your sending bank's wire transfer form.
The 8-character BIC BOFIIE2D identifies Bank of Ireland's head office. If you are sending to a specific branch, the bank may provide an 11-character BIC with a 3-character branch suffix (e.g. BOFIIE2DXXX).
Once your bank sends the wire, your payment gets a 36-character UETR tracking code. Paste it into Ohmyfin's free tracker to see the live SWIFT GPI status — no bank login needed.
