A Fire personal account comes as standard with a euro and sterling account. Fire is a digital account that you access via the app. Regulated in Ireland since 2010 and authorised in the UK since 2019, Fire accounts support bank transfers, euro/sterling FX, direct debits and debit card.
A digital account for you.
When you download the fire.com personal app, you get both a sterling and euro account – each with its own details. We issue sort code and account numbers for sterling accounts and issue IE IBANs for euro accounts.
Using the Fire personal app you may pay and get paid by bank transfer in both sterling and euro. You may pay your bills by direct debit and move funds instantly between your Fire accounts. You may make real time payments to other Fire users.
Order your fire.com debit card and shop in store, online or take out cash. Every time you use your card, we will alert you. You can block your card any time using the Fire personal app.
Our service is different from that provided by high street banks. To help you decide if Fire is a good option for you, please note that we do not provide credit, credit cards, loans or overdrafts. We do not support cheques and it is not possible to lodge cash to a Fire Business Account. Our Fee Structure is a bit different from most high street banks too – any fees and charges are taken as part of the transaction at the time of payment – we do no charge monthly, quarterly or annual fees.
