Maybe they haven’t updated their software since 1922.
Computer says No
Wait there is no way you of all people have an Irish passport? the most british man in the world
There’s still a few hours left for “the Irish Reunification of 2024”, lads
Try *Éire* rather than Irish. The cover of a Southern Ireland European passport appears as *Éir*e Ireland
might be because of technicalities with the CTA? or the bank is just backwards and stuck lmfao
de Valera must be spinning in his grave.
Did you try clearing your browser cache? I was having similar ID vs. Bank problems yesterday and spent many hours with various support team members who really wanted me to clear my browser cache over and over again and kept “getting disconnected” before transferring me to someone else who wanted me to clear my browser cache
hello ibxtoycat
If only there was a YouTuber that made videos about geography and passports…
Doubt that’s a human. Ask to speak to a person or ask to log a complaint. Both should bypass the chatbot. I’d log a complaint regardless if you have the bandwidth to, someone has really fucked up here. I review IDs that get flagged for a British bank and I’m baffled at how this has happened.
Their software must be assuming Northern Ireland instead of the Republic of Ireland, which is both stupid and very insulting to people of both countries I imagine.
I had the opposite while immigrating to Canada, divvy border patrol agent put my UK passport down as the ROI (you’d think reading comprehension would be part of the job description) and I had to chase it up for months to get it fixed. They kept accusing me of fraud. 🤦🏻
Time to start some Troubles
Nothing in this country works properly, OP. I’m regularly told by the UK government’s court computer systems that I’m not allowed to access them “from your current location outside the UK”… every time it happens I’m in Oxfordshire 🙄
Maybe I’m a bit naive in thinking it will _actually_ help but when dealing with folks like this, make sure you never use “UK” and only use “The United Kingdon of Great Britain and NORTHERN Ireland” to help hammer home what is included and what is not!
Bank is causing Troubles
These mawfuckas man
How… troubling
Treading carefully here, but isn’t northern Ireland still a part of the uk? Maybe that’s what’s tripping this up?
That’s more than mild
I’m confused why you need a “non-uk passport” for your bank.
Bet they use some dumb fuck ai and that’s what’s causing this
At it again.
Cunts
Ibxtoycat out of all people 😭

As an irishman myself that is the greatest insult that could possibly be put into text.
Tell us the bank so we can boycott the cunts
I did not know you are Irish!
The people who work at the bank are zombies
holy shit it’s ibxtoycat lmao what the passport bro
This is kinda disrespectful.
This is a chat bot
Ask to speak to a human.
These are some Indians or Philipinos. They may not even know that Ireland is not the UK.
Do it as a GDPR request. Right to rectification.
I was at the airport and the cashier was making small talk with me.
She asked where I was flying from, I said Cork. She said oh in England!
Holy shit it’s ibxtoycat!
