If my father only receives online payments in his bank account, will that be sufficient for loan approval in Ireland?

It depends. Banks in Ireland will consider your father's online payments as income if they are consistent, traceable, and legally declared.

For a loan application, he should be ready to provide:
- Bank statements showing regular online payments (usually last 3 months)
- Proof of income (such as pay slips, tax returns, or other official documents)
- Proof of identity and address (passport/driver’s license and a recent utility bill or bank statement)
- Proof of PPSN (Personal Public Service Number, like a payslip or official correspondence)

Banks may request additional documents based on individual cases.
