AIB Direct Debits

Direct Debits are used for paying bills whose amounts vary from month to month, such as gas, electricity or credit card bills.
For organisations that facilitate Direct Debit arrangements, to set up a Direct Debit, simply give your bank account details to the organisation you are paying. The organisation will then set up the Direct Debit for you.

You can also cancel a Direct Debit via any AIB Branch during opening hours by submitting the request in writing, including the Direct Debit name, reference number and the Direct Debit amount.
While AIB will cancel your Direct Debit it is your responsibility to inform the Originator of this cancellation and to make any alternative payments arrangements necessary.

Direct Debit Restrictions

AIB offer customers the ability to set up restrictions on their direct debits. To set up a restriction please complete the Direct Debit SEPA Restriction Application form available to download below and submit to your local AIB Branch.
