Sending money from Revolut to Bank of Ireland: Transfer time and fees
If you’re using Revolut in Ireland, you may want to move money to a traditional bank account, like Bank of Ireland, to cover bills, savings, or everyday spending. The good news is you can do this, but it’s worth knowing how long it takes, and what the fees look like.
In this guide, we’ll walk you through the process step by step, explaining what you need to know about sending money from Revolut to the Bank of Ireland. We’ll also introduce the Wise Account as an option in Ireland for receiving and managing money in multiple currencies.
Can you transfer money from Revolut to the Bank of Ireland?
Yes. If you need to transfer money out of Revolut to a bank, you can do that using a bank transfer.¹
The Revolut account supports payments to institutions within Ireland, including Bank of Ireland, as well as international transfers to banks in supported countries and currencies.

What are the Revolut to BOI transfer fees? 💰
The fees for a Revolut transfer are variable based on factors like the currency, destination, day of the week and which Revolut plan you’re on.¹
You’ll be given a breakdown in the app before you send the transfer, but here’s a general guide:
| Region | Fee¹ |
|---|---|
| EUR transfers within SEPA region | No fee |
| GBP transfers within UK | No fee |
| Transfers outside UK and SEPA region | Variable fee |
This means if you transfer EUR from your Revolut account to a Bank of Ireland account, there should be no fees.
If you were to send money from Revolut to the Bank of Ireland in another currency, you can expect Revolut to charge fees. How the Bank of Ireland handles receiving a foreign currency, depends on which account it goes to.
When foreign currency is sent into a Bank of Ireland Current Account that’s in euros, the amount is converted before being deposited.⁴ It’s worth checking how much this can cost you in fees and the exchange rate, as it may not be the best choice.
Bank of Ireland also allows customers to receive foreign currency into an account that’s specifically for that currency. The currencies that are supported for the Bank of Ireland foreign currency accounts include²:
- Pounds sterling
- US dollars
- Australian dollars
- Canadian dollars
- Swiss francs
- Polish zloty
There may be other currencies available as well, with Bank of Ireland recommending you speak to your local branch or the Personal Banking Treasury team for more information.
Something to be aware of is that unlike providers like Wise, which allow you to hold multiple currencies in a single account, Bank of Ireland currency accounts only support one currency per account.
Revolut to BOI transfer time: How long does it take to send money?
How long a Revolut transfer takes depends on where the money is going. Here are the general timeframes Revolut shares on their website:
| Transfer type | General timeframe³ |
|---|---|
| EUR Transfers (SEPA) | Few minutes to up to 2 business days |
| International transfers (SWIFT) | Up to 2 business days |
When you make a transfer with Revolut, you will be able to see the most up to date ETA before confirming the transfer, and you can track the progress through the app.²
