How to buy Crypto with an AIB account
If you are looking to deposit Euros from your Allied Irish Bank account into a cryptocurrency exchange, we would recommend the Uphold platform. They offer fast and free Euro deposits and low commissions on cryptocurrency and stock trading. If you don't want to deposit with your AIB account, you can also use PayPal and other alternative payment methods.
Follow the simple guide below to get started.
- Sign up to the Uphold platform and verify your identity (personal or company).
- Connect your Allied Irish Bank (AIB) account or Credit/Debit Card to Uphold by selecting the 'My Banks' button on your dashboard.
- You can then select the 'Connect Bank' button to link your AIB account to Uphold and deposit GBP.
- Find the cryptocurrency you want to buy and execute your trade.

Allied Irish Bank Cryptocurrency Policy
AIB does not have any banking policies that prohibit their customers from depositing funds into licensed digital asset exchanges. This means that you are safe to deposit and withdraw Euros into crypto trading platforms, without having to worry about the risk of your bank or funds being frozen.
