If you find out that a payee NSC is not reachable under SEPA, you need to get SEPA-reachable account details for them. To do this:
You can input the non-reachable payee NSC and Account Numbers (single account or bulk upload) using the online BIC/IBAN conversion service provided by IPSO. The service will return corresponding BIC/IBAN details. Use the last 14 characters of the IBAN (representing the 6-digit NSC and the last 8 digits representing the account number) as the payee’s SEPA-reachable account. To do this, visit www.ipso.ie/section/ipsosepaservices.
OR
Alternatively, contact your payee directly. Ask them for an alternative bank account that is SEPA-reachable and update your records accordingly.
Please note that Bank of Ireland cannot guarantee payments to non-reachable SEPA NSCs after 25th November 2013.
