Know Your Customer
‘Know your customer’ (KYC) obligations for the financial services industry require us to collect and maintain information on all Bank of Ireland account holders. These requirements come from our regulators and are intended to prevent abuse of the financial system. You may have been contacted recently by us asking you for some information.
What type of Customer are you?
We may have written to you recently, to ask for more information about you such as:
- Documentation confirming your source of funds or source of wealth.
- Up-to-date proof of your identity (ID) and address.
- Confirmation of your current employment status.
Below, we have explained why you are being asked for this information.
Remember, Bank of Ireland will never call, text or email you asking you to share your full 365 online PIN, personal details, or one-time passcode. For more information, please visit the ‘Security and Fraud’ section of our website.
