Opening a bank account

There are several national banks in Ireland. One of them, Bank of Ireland, has facilities on campus. It is located adjacent to the Atrium under the Dining Hall. Bank of Ireland has dedicated student officers who deal with general financial issues.

To open any bank account, you are required by law to show valid proof of identity, complete with photograph and proof of address. On request, the International Office can provide a letter confirming you are a Trinity student and listing your home and Dublin addresses.

This letter can be obtained:
