Overview

Bank of Ireland allows you to grant access to your accounts by creating a User. This is done through Business On Line, where you can:
  • add a new user with their own login credentials
  • choose which accounts they can access
  • define what they are allowed to see and do, such as viewing balances or initiating payments
You will be setting up a user that can securely access account data and initiate transactions without sharing your primary login.

The above example corresponds to read only functionality. If you want to enable Waycore to draft transactions on the portal, you should enable payments, approvals, and limits correspondingly.
Review the setup and click the final button to complete. The Administrator must also initiate setup of the Approve app for the new user.

Important notes

If no account access is assigned, the user will see no data.
If you have two Administrators, they share a dual login. Both will need to be available at the same time to access administrator functions and input their password from the Approve App.
Use one user per account if separate connections are required.
