When depositing money to your BUX account from Ireland you are making an international transfer by depositing it to a Dutch bank account (we’re in the Netherlands). 


How does it work?  


Most Irish banks will require you to first add and approve BUX as a new international Payee with your bank. 


Once approved, you can deposit money using a SEPA transfer. Please don’t use SWIFT payment as we cannot accept these and the transfer will be returned to your bank account within 3 business days. 


Here’s how to do it for the three major Irish banks: Allied Irish Bank, Bank of Ireland and Permanent TSB. You can also click on the link to check out the guide of your bank.
