What are cross-border transactions?
Have you spotted a transaction like this on your account? Example: P2801GB 6.14@1.1406
This is usually a payment you made using your debit card outside of Ireland. You might have used your card and entered your PIN, tapped it, or used Apple or Google Pay. It could also be an online purchase, like buying something from a subscription service like Amazon Prime, which operates outside of the Republic of Ireland.
The transaction name on your account is just that transaction broken down into the date, currency, amount and exchange rate to help you understand it better.
-
Why does the time of the transaction not match up to when I made the purchase?
Sometimes, companies do not process payments right away. This means, the time and date you see on your account might be a bit different from when you actually made your purchase. This often happens with weekend or evening purchases, as the transaction gets processed on the next business day.

What should I do if I don’t recognise a transaction?
If you’re finding it difficult to recognise a transaction on your account, ask yourself the following:
- Did I place an order over the phone or online recently?
- Did I share my card details at any stage over the phone or online?
- Did I tap in or share the full card number/expiry date/CVV code?
- Have I signed up for a new product or service lately?
- Has anyone else - partner, family member, friend - used my card?
-
Who should I contact if I’m worried about a transaction?
