BOI will no longer apply charges quarterly – instead they will be deducted every month.


Beginning 23 November 2020, the new BOI €6 monthly fee will be charged to accounts on the last business day of each calendar month. This means that the new fee to cover the month of December 2020 will be charged for the first time on 31 December.

But – the 31st December 2020 is also the date that personal customers will be charged current account transaction fees for the last time. Up until now, these have been paid on a quarterly basis. The fees charged on 31 December will relate to the previous fee quarter, 24 August to 22 November 2020.
