About you and your situation

  • Are you applying for Fair Deal and need up-to-date statements for your Bank of Ireland accounts sent to your home address?
  • Do you need up-to-date statements for Bank of Ireland accounts, but the customer is no longer at the address we have for them?
  • Do you need up-to-date statements for Bank of Ireland accounts, but the customer no longer has decision-making capacity?
  • Are you the next of kin, carer, advocate, an attorney or a social worker who is supporting someone with their Fair Deal application?

If you answered yes to any of the questions above, we can help.

2. The person you contact will take your details and let our Customer Care team know:

  • For verified customer requests our Customer Care team will order up-to-date statements that can be sent to the address we have on file for the customer, or directly, as an encrypted file, to the Nursing Home Support Scheme
  • If you need statements to go to a different address, the customer has to complete a ‘change of address’ request first before the statements can be ordered.

3. Our Customer Care team will send the statements out:

  • If the statements are posted to the address we have on file for a customer, they typically arrive within 6-7 working days
  • If the statements have to go to a verified, new address, please allow 3-4 extra days for us to complete the change of address.
