How to send money from Revolut to AIB: What you need to know
Many Revolut users in Ireland still rely on traditional banks like AIB for some of their banking needs, like paying bills, saving up, or managing household expenses. The good news is, sending money from Revolut to AIB is relatively simple, if you know what to do.
In this guide, we’ll break down the steps for sending money from Revolut to an AIB account, outlining the fees and timeframes as well. We’ll also introduce the Wise Account as an alternative for receiving and managing money across multiple currencies in Ireland.
Can you transfer money from Revolut to AIB in Ireland?
The short answer is yes, you can send money from Revolut to an AIB account. Revolut supports transfers to international and local bank accounts, including AIB in Ireland.¹
You can send money in the same currency you’re holding, for example a EUR to EUR transfer, or you can send money in other supported currencies using a Revolut currency conversion if needed.
How to send money from Revolut to AIB: Step by step
To send money from Revolut to AIB you should follow these steps¹:
- Login to the Revolut app
- Go to 'Payments’ tab
- Press the plus (+) symbol at the top right corner
- Select ‘Bank recipient’ or scroll down to find a previous recipient
- Follow the prompts to enter the account details
- Input the amount, currency and a reference if you want
Once you’ve entered all of the transaction details you’ll get a chance to review it before hitting confirm.
What are the Revolut to AIB transfer fees?
The fees for sending money to a bank account with Revolut vary depending on a few factors, including:
- Currencies involved
- Destination
- Day and time of the week
- Your Revolut plan
You will get to view the total fees before you confirm the transaction, but here’s a general idea of what to expect:
| Region | Fee¹ |
|---|---|
| EUR transfers within SEPA region | No fee |
| Transfers outside UK and SEPA region | Variable fee |
Based on this, if you send EUR from Revolut to your AIB Current account, there should be no fees. However, if you send money in another currency, Revolut will usually apply a fee.
How AIB processes the incoming transfers will depend on the type of account you’re sending to and whether it can hold that specific currency.
- AIB Current Account is set to EUR
- AIB Currency Deposit Accounts can be set to USD, GBP, CAD or AUD³
If money is sent to your AIB account that isn’t in the currency that the account is set to, there will be an automatic currency conversion.² It will be done at the AIB rate and there may be additional fees.
If you’ll be sending and receiving money in multiple currencies, it’s worth looking at a Wise Account instead. Like Revolut it supports transfers to and from bank accounts, but has the added bonus of offering local account details for 8+ currencies through a single account, including EUR, USD, GBP, CAD and AUD.
Revolut to AIB transfer time: How long does it take to send money?
The amount of time a Revolut bank transfer takes varies, but you will be able to check the estimated time for yours before you confirm the transfer. In general you can expect:
| Transfer type | General timeframe⁴ |
|---|---|
| EUR Transfers (SEPA) | Few minutes to up to 2 business days |
| International transfers (SWIFT) | Up to 2 business days |
Once you’ve confirmed a transfer, you can also track it by going to your transactions list, and pressing on the transaction.
Wise Account: Receive money in +8 currencies for free
If you regularly deal with different currencies, sending and receiving money overseas, the Wise Account offers a flexible and affordable solution.
As we mentioned, Wise gives you local account details for more than 8 currencies, including major ones like EUR, GBP, USD, AUD, and CAD. This means you’ll be able to use the account details to safely send and receive money in the local currency, without having to go through an international transfer.
Plus, whenever you need to convert between currencies, Wise uses the mid-market exchange rate (the one you usually see on Google) so you avoid hidden fees or inflated markups.

FAQ: Revolut to AIB
If you have Revolut and AIB or you're thinking about getting both, here’s the few answers to some FAQs that you might find helpful.
Can you add an AIB card to Revolut?
Revolut isn’t a digital wallet like Google Pay or Apple Pay, so you can’t add cards from other providers such as AIB to it. Instead, Revolut has its own physical card and virtual cards.
Why can't I add money to Revolut from AIB?
If you’re having issues adding money to Revolut from AIB there’s a few potential causes:
- Authorisation process wasn’t completed
- Bank error
- Account name mismatch
- Insufficient funds
- Mistake entering the account details.
Can you pay with an AIB credit card with money from Revolut?
Yes. When you pay with a credit card, including the AIB credit card, you're paying with money that’s on loan from the bank. That money needs to be paid back, and you can do it with Revolut.
