Rebrand questions

Why are you changing your brand?

Our rebrand is centred on enhancing your overall banking experience. We’re excited to embark on this journey to better reflect the enhanced position of the Bank in the Irish market and our commitment to serving our customers across Ireland, both in personal and business banking.

What's changing?

While our commitment to providing best in class banking services remains unchanged, you'll notice significant changes to our visual identity, such as our logo, digital channels, social media channels, email address and in time, our physical channels across Retail, Debit and Credit Cards.

We are also changing our trading name to make it more straightforward to pronounce, spell, and recognise.

Back to top

What’s not changing? 

There will be no change to any of our day to day banking services or processes, opening hours, contact numbers or branch locations. We'll keep you updated with important milestones along the way.

Any changes that may impact customers will be communicated in advance.

Why have you changed to PTSB, instead of Permanent TSB?    

In many sectors, including banking, it is common to abbreviate a brand name to make it more convenient – to say, spell and recognise for customers and colleagues.

We will remain Permanent TSB plc from a legal perspective, but in all touchpoints and communications we are trading as PTSB.

Will branches close for renovations?

Over the coming months, we will begin to gradually upgrade our branches in line with our new identity.

Should any of these upgrades require temporary branch closures, advance notice will be provided. Please bear with us while we roll these changes out to your community.

Back to top

Is there anything I need to do?

Customers do not need to do anything as part of this change. Our only ask is that customers bear with us while we roll out the refresh over time, and remain highly vigilant to any potential fraudulent or phishing activities.

Please refer to our Fraud and Financial Crime section of the website, or check out fraud related questions below.

Product Questions

I have a Bank Draft/Chequebook, is this still valid?

Yes, although our trading name is now PTSB, any Bank Drafts, Chequebooks and other material using our old branding and name will continue to remain valid.

In line with our sustainability charter, we will begin to update these materials to our new branding as stocks naturally deplete.

Will I need to update my account/personal information as part of change?

No, you do not need to change, alter or update any account or personal details as part of this change.

Back to top

Will I be issued with a new card?

Your physical and digital bank cards (Debit, Credit, Student, Business) will not change to the new PTSB brand identity right away so you can continue to use your existing Permanent TSB card as normal.

We are planning to change cards in 2024 to reflect our new brand identity but we will notify customers and colleagues in advance of this happening.

It is likely that you may notice updated digital cards in your Google or Apple wallet prior to receiving an updated physical card because, in line with our sustainability strategy, we will wait until physical card stocks naturally deplete before beginning to issue updated cards to customers.

Back to top

Will there be any change to my day to day banking?

No, you can continue to bank as normal. The only changes will be a refresh with our new modern visual identity across our websites, app, and some of our branch network.

Over time, you may see any reference to Permanent TSB change to our new trading name PTSB however there is no impact on your day to day banking, processes or procedures as part of this change.

Will there be any change to my online banking details?

No, there is no change to your online banking details as part of this change and you can continue to access your online banking as normal through our Open24, Business24, Broker24 and mobile app channels.

You will notice a refresh with a new and modern visual identity and trading name on our digital channels however functionality, usability and log in information will remain the same.
