Can I get some of your thoughts on the following. The organization that is the link between my daughters College and her jr. semester study abroad program in Cork Ireland suggested the student establish a bank acct. in Ireland as soon as she arrives and receive an ATM card to withdraw money as needed. To do this they suggest buying "Euro travellers checks" now in America in the amount we guess she will need for her semester there. It would be a safe way for her to carry a large amount of money into Ireland to deposit into the bank. We are now in the process of getting her a Visa Capitol One credit card to have in her possession. The ATM from the Irish Bank would enable her to pull money with no fees. Can you give me your thoughts on this suggestion and also where does one buy euro travellers check in the USA? I'm just trying to sort out the easiest way for her to have access to money without incurring lots of fees. Help please. Barb Cabot

Does the bank have a website. How about opening an account over the internet and wiring money?

I will close this topic at this point since it is specific to opening a bank account in Ireland with Euro T/Cs and Barb has already posted the same question in the United Kingdom and Ireland forum, where it belongs.
