Bank of Ireland progressing nationwide ATM upgrade with over 200 new machines to be installed in 2026

  • 168 new ATMs already deployed across 46 branches in rolling programme of works
  • Largest single ATM investment by Bank of Ireland in the last decade

13 January 2026 – Bank of Ireland will install more than 200 new ATMs this year as work continues on the renewal of its entire ATM fleet, improving reliability, accessibility and energy performance across the network.

The rolling programme of works has already delivered 168 new machines in 46 branches from Donegal to Wexford. In total, approximately 650 new devices will be deployed to every Bank of Ireland branch on the island of Ireland as part of a €60 million investment.

The new fleet has greater cash processing capacity and will slash energy use by more than half. The ATMs can be used for both withdrawals and lodgements and the majority will ‘recycle’ cash (i.e. cash deposited can be used for withdrawals).

To improve accessibility for customers with visual impairment, the new ATMs feature high-contrast screens and an earphone socket that enables audio guidance throughout the transaction.

Alan Durcan, Director of Distribution Channels at Bank of Ireland, said:

“This is our largest single investment in ATMs in more than a decade and will ensure customers in every county benefit from the most modern and efficient machines. The new ATMs support our sustainability ambitions through lower energy use, while also delivering better reliability and improved accessibility for day‑to‑day banking.

The renewal of our entire ATM fleet is progressing well, and by year end we will have completed the next phase, with more than 200 additional ATMs replaced by the latest machines. We look forward to even more customers benefiting from the enhanced services they provide.”
