Bank transfer and Open Banking on Irish betting sites: how they work
A bank transfer sends money using account details you type in, while Open Banking is a payment you approve through your bank. Which Irish betting sites state either, with what speed and limits, is not yet recorded. The operator table below is unverified, dated 7 November 2026.
How do the two differ?
- Bank transfer: you enter the operator's account details and send the money from your banking app.
- Open Banking: you approve the payment through your bank, as the glossary on this site defines it.
Both are bank-led, so a bank-side block may stop either.

How do bank gambling blocks fit in?
AIB, Bank of Ireland, EBS, PTSB and Revolut offer a block, as listed on GRAI Protection Tools. A block set by a customer applies on the bank side. It is separate from an operator's tools, such as those on Ladbrokes.
How fast is a transfer?
A stated time is a figure the operator publishes, written "up to N". Until one is recorded the cell stays unverified. For how we lay out such figures see William Hill payments.
Which pages sit beside this one?
Debit cards and Revolut cover the other bank-linked routes.
In short
Bottom line: Bank transfer and Open Banking are bank-led methods; operator terms are unverified and a bank-side block may stop either.
