The ATMs of Allied Irish Banks (AIB) will stop accepting Bank of Ireland (BoI) cards, affecting the BoI’s second-level student customers.
AIB was quoted by Irish Independent as saying: "AIB is streamlining its processes and routing all transactions through international schemes for processing. As the Bank of Ireland ATM-only card is not an internationally branded card, it will unfortunately no longer work at our ATMs.

AIB is also currently nearing completion of a process to replace all its Maestro-branded debt cards with Visa Debit cards.
Meanwhile, BoI said, "All Bank of Ireland and other banks’ debits cards that are internationally branded debit cards will continue to operate at our ATMs as normal.
"However, we have a very extensive ATM network and they also continue to have access to any other ATM provider, with the exception of AIB devices," the bank said.
The number of ATM machines in Ireland has dropped to a low of 3,061 in 2012 from 3,404 machines in 2008.
