The ATMs will handle both withdrawals and lodgements - with most able to recycle cash, meaning money lodged can be used for withdrawals.
Bank of Ireland says branches in Athy, Kildare Town and Newbridge are among the first locations to get upgraded ATMs, as part of a €60 million programme to replace machines across its entire network.
The bank says it has already installed 168 new ATMs across 46 branches, and plans to fit more than 200 more machines in 2026.
It says the new ATMs are designed to be more reliable, with greater cash-processing capacity, and will cut energy use by more than half.
They’ll also handle both withdrawals and lodgements - with most able to recycle cash, meaning money lodged can be used for withdrawals.
For accessibility, the bank says the machines have high-contrast screens and an earphone socket for audio guidance for customers with visual impairment.
The rollout is separate to a new law which will enable sustained access to cash.
That law aims to ensure that an ATM machine is located within 10km of most homes and businesses.
