Some Bank of Ireland debit cards restricted due to fraudster fears

Bank of Ireland (BOI) has imposed a number of restrictions on some customers' debit cards over fears they have been compromised by fraudsters.

The bank has not revealed how many customers have been impacted.

BOI says there is currently heightened precautionary activity due to the increase in third-party data breaches.

Affected customers have been told they will not be able to use their existing cards for contactless payments or online and new cards will be issued.
