AIB Opiniones 887

I hate AIB. This bank will cease to exist in 10 years. It would have been long gone if it wasn’t for the tax payer bailing them out and they repay with shite technology, ridiculous penalties for missing DD. I got penalised €10 for missing a SO from my Current Account into my own AIB Savings Account. Oh and I now have to submit a written letter and hand deliver it into my branch to close the account, what year is it 1991?

Beth Maher from AIB Killaloe is the most efficient, courteous, knowledgeable member of staff that my husband and I have had the pleasure to deal with. She solved our query quickly and answered all our questions and made herself available if we had any future queries. It is wonderful to have a positive experience. We want to commend her commitment to good customer relations.

I`m just waiting for my savings account to mature, and I will close the account and cancel my credit card. It got too expensive. No match to Revolut or N26! Thank you for the last 22 years, but I will not overpay for something I do not use!

I used to transfer money from my AIB account to revolut which went through instantly. However since they introduced their own revolut style system it's taking a lot longer to hit my revolut account. AIB seem to be playing a game here

I have 3 business accounts with AIB and i find their service is just getting worse and worse as time goes by.
What is the point in a dedicated business line when they conditionally asking the same questions and been put on hold and pushed on to team after team and getting nowhere fast.

I am writing this to warn others about the appalling level of service and sheer clerical incompetence at the AIB Westport branch.
On Monday, 9th February, I drove an hour to this branch specifically to close all my accounts. Despite the bank being empty, I was kept waiting for OVER AN HOUR to complete a simple request. I followed every instruction given by the staff member at the customer desk: I cleared the remaining balances (€22.50 and €4.75) in cash on the spot because they "couldn't accept a transfer," and I handed over my physical bank cards. I was explicitly reassured that my accounts would be closed the moment I walked out the door.
I have now discovered that none of my accounts were closed.
To make matters worse, AIB is now slapping me with additional bank charges on accounts that should not exist. It is entirely unacceptable that a customer is penalized for the gross negligence of staff who failed to process a simple closure after an in-person visit.
I live an hour away and have already fulfilled my "in-person" obligations. I will not be driving back to fix a mistake made by your team without seeking full compensation for my fuel and time.
I expect an immediate reversal of all accrued charges and written confirmation that these accounts are closed. The lack of professional accountability here is staggering. Save yourself the headache and bank elsewhere.
I am with Revolut now and WHAT A DIFFERENCE!

Had an issue with a payment lock isn’t unusual with their poor tech - was left holding 8 mins during work hours. I gave up. What sort of company in 2026 thinks this is acceptable? It’s no surprise Revolut has swooped into Ireland, got themselves 3m customers in 2 years! WAKE UP AIB!!

Utterly impossible, maddenig and unreliable phone authentification system, either on phone app or desktop online banking system. Constant glitches and breakdowns. Phone staff have no clue how to sort it out. "I'll refer it to our IT team" - nothing happens. Appalling service. Basically I cannot access my bank account. If you are thinking of switching to this bank. DON'T!!

I have been a customer for the bank for 10 years. It has a poor service in all areas possible. They charge for service that I do not use and then charge again if I don't have enough money. It's like a loop where they make money out of nowhere using customers for this. Unfortunately, Ireland always ask for an Irish bank so I they have locked me in. Looking forward to move everything in Revolut as they are fair competitor and do not take advantage from customers. Also I don't believe AIB is doing well. They're getting smaller and I hope to see more competitor taking over and offering better service.

Terrible APP
I have been locked out of A I B Mobile App ever since the bank Fascilltated a fraud by Amazon.es
My local branch don’t know why S C A was bypassed
I have had an account there for over 48 years and now i can’t log on

With each payment I have to enter a number from their outdated and awkward to use calculator. It's difficult to see and one has to remember big long numbers that result from using this calculator

The app has completely stopped working meaning I can't pay for anything online and currently have motor tax to pay.

Typical Irish bank, increased fees and decreased service

Paid off a loan early after some payemnt issues with it, but I resolved it with them, or so I thought. I considered it gone as it was due to expire in February and I had cleared it. Discovered today that my overdraft facility was cancelled and nobody understood why when I rang them. Seems they charged € 3.31 interest on the paid off loan linked to my current account with the overdraft facility, They sold it off to some debt collector agency... I kid you not over 3.31 euro. Got shouted at that they had written letters and called about the outstanding debt many times but I didn´t understand what they were talking about.. I simply couldn´t work out what it was until I saw the 3.31 outstanding (had no letters). Seriously EVERYONE needs to leave this bank, it deserves no customers at all. I am with them since 2002.. and this is how I got treated. Horrible - AIB vanish from the face of the earth you are not worthy.

I am very unhappy about my recent experience with AIB banking. Having gone over the procedure for withdrawing funds from my fixed term savings account when I tried to take out funds the app would not let me .
To be fair to them they did phone me back and tried to sort it out but we both understood that the fault was with the person who had opened my account who forgot to explain the very specific terms of this account .

Tried to transfer funds between aib account and another bank.
Everything seemed to go fine, a few days later with no transfer in sight tried to call their support line for assistance and after 10 minutes trying to work my way through their pointless recorded messages I get told yeah it didn't happen just try again and hung up on.
Any bank in this country has as pitiful security measures as ulster bank had, the amount of technical debt, and general staff incompetence and rudeness is nothing short of astounding.
They do not deserve to be in business

Trying to move your mortgage to Allied Irish Banks is extremely painful.

The amount of duplication they expect on your side is ridiculous, and the number of mistakes they’ve made internally is hard to believe. I’m now on my third letter of offer because of their own errors. They acknowledge the mistakes, but that doesn’t make the process any easier.

At this point, I’m seriously considering sticking with Bank of Ireland. A difference of less than 1% just isn’t worth the hassle of dealing with AIB’s mortgage team.

Most brutal app around. On most attempts to access online, it takes 10+ inputs of reg. and PIN. Have deleted app and re-intalled numerous times. perhaps they could just copy or buy Revolut app?

AIB (NI) - this must be the worst banking app I've ever tried to use. I have little confidence in a facility where you are unable to log in due to some technical problems with authentication. The reviews reflect the same frustration other users are finding and I am forced to simply log in with my browser. COME INTO THE 21st CENTURY AIB (NI).

Worst service ever. How is this bank still operating in this day and age with all the online options out there that are streets ahead? I just don't understand. And in addition to the service being abysmal, the service team is unfriendly.
