Digital Correspondence questions and answers

 
What types of communications will be sent digitally?

If you are registered for Digital Correspondence, we will send directly to your email, Online Banking or PTSB app. At first this will only be for select letters or documents including service updates and letters specific to your Current, Deposit & Term Loan accounts. For example, general updates to services, such as Zippay, will be sent to you by email. Or, if you are registered for Digital Correspondence and open an Online Deposit Account we will email your Account Opening Letter as an attachment. We will continue to add more letters over time so you have a faster, more convenient way to stay informed about your account

Can I get all of my post from PTSB digitally?

As such, please ensure that both your postal address and email address are kept up to date so that you continue to receive communications from us.
