AIB Requirements
A completed and signed (by a current Company Director) AIB Direct Debit Mandate Form (if you change the account where the charges are debited).
A recently dated bank statement or welcome letter for the new account (must include account name, number, sort code and bank logo).
The change of bank request must be made in writing, signed by a current Company Director, in a cover letter. This correspondence must detail whether the bank details need changing for credits, debits, or both (via email).
The change with AIB takes 3-5 working days.
Example email

ELAVON Requirements
Merchants no longer need to complete the 'change of bank' form. However, Elavon needs to see that the change of bank request has initially come from the listed contact on their systems.
Specify if the bank change is for charges, deposits, or both.
Proof of bank dated within the past three months is required, i.e. bank statement, bank welcome letter. It must include the bank account name, account number, sort code and bank logo.
The change with Elavon takes approximately five working days.
