Frequently asked questions
-
What’s changed when I use my card to shop online?
We’ve made changes making shopping online with your card more secure and reducing fraud. These changes introduce Strong Customer Authentication (SCA) for online card transactions. SCA is an extra layer of security where you authenticate your online card purchases.
You can find out more about SCA here.

Financial scams are on the increase. If I receive a call from the bank how will I know it is genuine?
Fraudsters are using the publicity around the Coronavirus to pose as genuine organisations, including bank staff, government and/or health service officials. They are claiming to help keep your money safe, or to offer investment and / or medical advice at a cost.
Remember: AIB or other organisations, such as law enforcement agencies, will NEVER ask you to transfer money, move it to a safe account, nor ask you to disclose your security credentials, personal or financial information by phone, email or text message.
