Schedule of AIB International Transaction Charges
How we charge fees
The cost of an international payment is based on our charges and the charges of other banks involved in the transfer, such as intermediary (Agent) banks and the receiving bank.
All international payments through AIB Internet Banking are made on a "Shared/SHA" charging basis. This means that as you send the payment, you pay our charges and the person you are sending the payment to pays all the other bank charges (the receiving bank’s and any Agent Bank’s charges). These may be deducted from the amount before it is credited to account of the person you are paying. This means that the full amount of the payment may not be paid to their account.
However, under EU legislation intermediary (Agent) banks may not deduct any charges from any EEA currency payments made to EEA destinations. The full amount of the payment must be transferred to the Receiver's Bank. The Receiver's Bank may, subject to agreement with the Receiver, deduct their fee from the payment amount before they credit the Receiver's Account.
Intermediary (Agent) Banks or the Receiver's Bank may charge where amendments/investigations/cancellations to payment instructions are requested.
In addition to the international payment charge, we apply account transaction fees.
We apply an exchange rate to an international payment when there is a difference in currency between one account and the other. You can see the standard exchange rates online. These variable exchange rates are subject to change at any time.
