Euro current account
A current account to facilitate international trade
Protect your business from exchange rate movements with a Euro current account
If your company is trading internationally, a Euro account with AIB (NI) will enable your business to manage your foreign currency cash flows, allowing you to receive and make electronic and cheque payments without any foreign exchange conversion costs.
Please note you must be a UK resident and an existing AIB (NI) Business customer to open a Euro current account with us.
From the 9 January 2025, you will be able to receive SEPA instant payments from other payment service providers in euro to your payment account(s), for example, to your current account. Later in 2025, you will be able to send SEPA instant payments, and we’ll tell you more about that closer to the time.
