nice to see you’re happy about job losses. Always worthy of a celebration.

Internet banking. Lo-call phone service. Easy and quick.

Can you lodge money via internet and phone banking?

The customer doesn’t have the option to decide where the account moves. My local AIB closed a few years back and moved to a town much further away from my house….we didn’t have a say as to where our local branch would be.

Why would you have a say where your local branch would be??? The Bank is a company (not a community organisation) and is entitled to run its business as it sees fit. Ireland is a democracy – just like your broadband or your mobile phone, if you aren’t happy with your service provider just switch.

@Jonathan Hayes. I think the deposit facility will be available as at present at the ATM. Money in the envelope posted in the slot beneath the money machine. No worries. Have done that lots.

Change banks altogether transfer to new bank before the branch closes

@ Smiley. I’m assuming that when the branch closes the building will be sold off etc. Doubt if there will be a stand alone ptsb ATM in each of the affected towns. I’ve used the orange in branch self service myself many times and are fine but doubt they will remain there on site.

Enniscorthy, Athy, Thurles small towns?

Yes

Small towns? Mayfield is a suburb!

Population of Enniscorthy town itself is less than 4,000, with the environs bringing it up to less than 10,000.
So yes, a small town. Athy is a bit more.

@ Colin Tyrrell. That wouldn’t be a Jackeen attitude ya have there would it?

We need these Banks which we are funding as taxpayers to reduce their spend and return to profitability as soon as possible. However remote such a scenario might be it will give us hope and a sense of positivity.

By all means but why are Ptsb shedding customers in Roscrea, Cobh, Youghal, Tipp Town, Thurles etc? I genuinely thought the branch closures would be in areas with multiple branches. How about cutting the bonus’s and hefty wages instead of customers?

reduce their spend and return to profitability as soon as possible, Mick??

These banks haven’t been providing adequate service for 4 years plus now and in that time they have wrongfully drained the taxpayer of €10′s of billions for their greedy mistakes.
There is nothing that these zombie banks are providing that a good credit union couldn’t capably provide to all age groups in society.
Shut them down.

Maybe Munster doesn’t support ptsb so that’s why the branches are closing?
