Northern Irish Pounds

The current series of Northern Irish Pound Sterling banknotes, issued by the Dublin-based Bank of Ireland since 1995, feature the image of a sitting lady Hibernia. These banknotes are used as a means of payment in Northern Ireland but they are not legal tender in other parts of the United Kingdom. We change these modern Bank of Ireland notes free of charge. We also give cash for withdrawn Bank of Ireland banknotes.

In 2012, the former Northern Bank rebranded to Danske Bank, the name of its parent company based in Denmark. Pound Sterling banknotes issued by the Belfast-based Danske Bank are a valid means of payment in Northern Ireland. They are not legal tender in Denmark or in other parts of the United Kingdom. We exchange these modern Danske Bank banknotes free of charge. We also give cash for withdrawn Northern Bank banknotes.

The current series of Northern Irish Pound Sterling notes were first issued by the Belfast-based First Trust Bank in 1994. They feature the image of a man and a woman at different stages of life. The notes are a valid means of payment in Northern Ireland, but they are not legal tender in other parts of the United Kingdom. We exchange these modern First Trust Bank notes for cash free of charge.

The Belfast-based Ulster Bank Limited is one of three Northern Irish banks allowed to issue Pound Sterling bank notes. The Ulster Bank notes circulating today were issued from 1989. They are legal tender in Northern Ireland, but not in the rest of the United Kingdom or the Republic of Ireland. We exchange these modern Ulster Bank Limited notes free of charge. We also give you cash for withdrawn Ulster Bank Limited bank notes.

In 1995, the Dublin-based Bank of Ireland replaced older style Northern-Irish Pound Sterling bills with a new series. Modern Bank of Ireland banknotes can be recognised by the image of a sitting Hibernia. Notes with a standing Hibernia are no longer a valid means of payment in Northern Ireland. However, we give cash for these withdrawn banknotes.

In 1970, the Belfast Banking Company Limited was taken over by the Northern Bank. The banknotes that were issued by them are no longer a valid means of payment in Northern Ireland. However, we give cash for these withdrawn Belfast Banking Company notes.

The Allied Irish Banks Limited and Provincial Bank of Ireland are subsidiaries of the Dublin-based AIB Group. In 1994, banknotes issued by the Allied Irish Banks Ltd and Provincial Banks of Ireland were replaced by banknotes of the Belfast-based First Trust Bank, also part of the AIB Group. The discontinued banknotes are no longer a valid means of payment in Northern Ireland. We exchange these withdrawn Irish Banks Limited and Provincial Bank of Ireland Limited notes free of charge. We also give cash for current First Trust Bank notes.

The Belfast-based Northern Bank rebranded to Danske Bank in 2012. Older banknotes, issued by Northern Bank and Northern Bank Limited are taken out of circulation.

We exchange for free these withdrawn Northern Bank banknotes free of charge. We also give cash for the current Danske Bank banknotes that replaced them.

In 1989, the Belfast-based Ulster Bank Limited recalled older banknote series. New banknotes with improved security features were introduced instead.
