- "Business Day" means a day (other than a Saturday, Sunday, public or bank holiday) on which the Bank is generally open for business in Ireland, provided that in relation to execution timeframes for a payment to an account with another bank, it is also a day on which the Payee’s payment service provider is open for business and a day on which the Target interbank payment system is operating. A "Non-Business Day" shall be construed accordingly.

Changes relating to the introduction of the permanent tsb Visa Debit Card for business purposes:
- 3(c) by the addition of "Where the Card is issued for the purposes of the Customer’s business, it must only be used as a means of payment of expenditures in respect of such business."

- 15(e) by the inclusion of the words "and/or Account" after "Card" on the first line, by the deletion, on the fourth line of "until we have contacted you" and by the addition of "Contact may be made by post, phone or SMS. We will never contact you by post, phone, SMS or email to request your Open 24 Number or other Security Features".
- 15(f) is amended to include the word "compromise" on the second line so that the start of the conditions reads: "You shall furnish us with all available information relative to the loss, theft, copying or compromise of the Card, Device or Security Feature and shall give all reasonable assistance to us and our agents (including authorising us to release information to the Garda Síochána) relating to the Card, the Device, the Security Feature and the Account(s) necessary to lead to the recovery of the Card, Device or Security Feature and/or any copy of the Card or Security Feature."
