If you're having trouble with a Bank of Ireland cash machine, don't worry, you're not alone. Many customers have reported issues with their ATMs, including being out of order or not dispensing cash.

Some Bank of Ireland cash machines are located at inconvenient locations, making it difficult to access your money when you need it. For example, some machines are placed far from public transportation hubs or in areas with limited foot traffic.

Bank of Ireland has a network of over 1,300 cash machines across Ireland, but it's not uncommon for some machines to be out of order. In fact, according to Bank of Ireland's own data, approximately 10% of their cash machines are unavailable at any given time.

If you're unable to access your cash, you can try using a different Bank of Ireland cash machine or visiting a nearby branch.

According to our research, these issues are often caused by technical problems with the machines, which can be frustrating for customers.

In some cases, customers have reported having to wait for extended periods of time for the issue to be resolved, which can be inconvenient.

If you experience any issues with a Bank of Ireland cash machine, it's best to contact the bank's customer service team to report the problem and seek assistance.

Police at Some ATMs After Glitch

Police were sent to some ATMs after a Bank of Ireland glitch allowed customers to withdraw large sums even if they had little or no funds in their accounts.

Queues formed at some cash machines in the Republic of Ireland due to the glitch.

The bank says it has now resolved the technical issues.

Irish police, or gardaí, received over 40 calls from the public about unusual activity at cash machines.

A handful of calls concerned public order incidents at some cash machines.

Gardaí responded to the situation by making decisions on a case-by-case basis to ensure public safety.

The technical issues also affected customers in Northern Ireland, but there were no reports of similar incidents there.

Customers who overdrew on their accounts due to the glitch will have the transactions applied to their accounts.

The bank urges customers who are in financial difficulty due to overdrawing to contact them.
