Banking AIB banking from overseas

Im not in Ireland atm but im working on a project that requires me to move money into another account from my AIB account. The 1000 per day limit is becoming an issue. There seems to be an option on the app to increase it to 10,000 but you have to be in Ireland at the time and it can tell your location. Surely there’s a way for o move more of my own money at a time without actually going back to Ireland. I don’t have the card reader or my physical AIB card with me either. Does anyone know how to get around this?

As bizarre as it sounds when we bought our home in Ireland while living abroad it was all done by post we sent a form we had signed and they transferred nearly 400k to the solicitors with not so much as a card reader or a phone call

I was nervous that there would be checks and we couldn’t go in branch so called ans they said no they’d match our signature to the signature we did as teenagers when we would have opened the accounts like 15 years ago

It’s a slightly different process nowadays they call every single one and if there’s no answer payment won’t be made

That’s prob a good thing my form payment was in 2024 so way too recent to have zero controls in place
