Banking a crypto company in Ireland

Banking a crypto company incorporated in Ireland in 2026. BOI, AIB, plus US bank branches

What banks expect

A pre-packaged file: source of wealth, source of funds, flow-of-funds diagram, counterparties, compliance programme, board, and any licences. Without this, the file dies in pre-screening.

Sequencing

EMI first for operational rails, then a primary bank, then acquirer/PSP for card flow. Trying to open all three in parallel from a cold start is how most Ireland files get permanently flagged.

Talk to a partner before you incorporate.

Wrong jurisdiction, wrong substance, or wrong bank shortlist is a 12-month problem. A 30-minute briefing fixes 80% of it.
