Lodgements

Will my account balance update immediately if I make a transaction in An Post?

• Withdrawing money – when you take cash out of your account, your balance will genrally be reduced immediately.
• Lodging money – when you pay cash into your account, your balance will not update immediately. It will, generally, be credited to your account on the working day the lodgement was received by Bank of Ireland. However, if you lodge money into your account after a cut-off time (4:30pm, Monday to Saturday in most An Post branches¹), the amount you pay in will be credited to your account on the next working day. Processing times for paper lodgements (for example, cheques) at An Post branches may be different to the time it takes at a Bank of Ireland branch. There are different cut-off times for different account transactions.
