AIB iBusiness Banking (iBB)
Responding to Crisis
Our thoughts are with the people of Ukraine and everyone who has been impacted by the current humanitarian crisis in the region. We are refunding AIB International Payment charges to customers who send money to family, friends and charities in Ukraine. We will apply this refund, and customers do not need to take action. (However, charges may be applied by other banks when making such payments, which we cannot refund.)
As part of the global and European banking community, we recognise the role of banks in the implementation of financial sanctions and we will comply with all obligations in this regard.
To that end, we are currently applying extra due diligence to payments made from and to Russia. And, as a result, some of these payments may take longer than usual.
This is a rapidly evolving situation. Relevant updates will be posted here.
⚠ If we haven’t moved you over to the New iBB yet, you won’t be able to make any payments there.

Email Scam Warning
Email Scam WarningThe Bank has been made aware of new types of email fraud attempts. Criminals are sending emails:
- Purporting to be from a Supplier to their Irish Customers. The email advises that the Supplier has changed their bank account number and that all future payments should be made to the new account, which belongs to the criminal, and
- Which spoof the From: field, so the email appears to be from a Manager/Director/Senior Staff Member within the company. The email is requesting the receiver to ‘complete a bank transfer to an overseas account’ and appears to be sent from the email Manager's account.
- A subsequent mail is then sent from the ‘Manager’ with the receiving account details, which belong to the criminal.
If you receive such an email, we would recommend that you take the following steps:- Contact the Supplier / Manager/ Director etc using the existing agreed number to verify the request
- Check the email address – it may be different to the genuine one
- Do Not use the email ‘reply’ function, from within the received email
- Never open attachments to an email unless you are satisfied the emails are genuine
- Please look for any wording/grammar/tone that would be unusual for your company; e.g. request to complete/sort a “financial obligation” or a “wire transfer”.
- Check the time stamp on any emails, as this can sometimes indicate an email coming from somewhere it shouldn’t.
- Ensure that all your iBB Users are aware of this threat and that they should report any suspicious activity immediately.
