Dublin has a great literary legacy with many luminaries of Irish literature such as Joyce, Shaw, Yeats, Wilde, Stoker, Kavanagh and Beckett, being associated with the city. Dublin’s entertainments are legendary, from the delights of the Guinness Storehouse and Temple Bar to more cultured nights at the theatre or dining in one of the city’s fine eateries.

TRANSFERMATE PAYMENT OPTION
www.tcd.paytostudy.com
Trinity partners with ‘TransferMate’ to allow international students to pay from their home country in their local currency. There is no international transfer charge for using the service. Please note that as an immigration requirement, those applying for entry visas must give evidence that they have paid a percentage of their tuition fees. As the TransferMate payment facility includes a receipt, it is the recommended method of payment for international students, with credit card payments being second preference.
SETTING UP AN IRISH BANK ACCOUNT
There are several national banks in Ireland. One of them, Bank of Ireland, has facilities on campus. It is located adjacent to the Atrium under the Dining Hall. Bank of Ireland has dedicated student officers who deal with general financial issues. (This is now in the Hamilton Building).
To open any bank account, you will need to show valid proof of identity, complete with a photograph and proof of address. On request, the college can provide a letter confirming you are a Trinity student and listing your home and Dublin addresses. Once you have registered, this letter can be obtained from the Academic Registry.
Alternatively, you can print your letter from the portal (after registration) and then bring it to the Academic Registry to get it stamped and signed there and then. There are normally no fees charged on student bank accounts. Please note that you may have to wait for 2-3 days before presenting your letter from them to the bank.
