  1. Hi Catherine,

    This is more of a comment to let you know but if you have anything to add, that would be great. I’m opting out where I can.

    Zippay is a new person to person mobile payment service that Permanent Trustee Savings Bank, Allied Irish Bank and Bank of Ireland are launching in Ireland in early 2026. I got a letter from the PTSB which says that you will be automatically enrolled with your data going to a 3rd party tech company. Therefore you have to opt out, otherwise your info will be passed to this company “Zippay” which is a digital banking service in collaboration with the company Nexi.

    And Nexi is an Italian financial technology company owned by a mix of private companies, one of whom is a private equity company, Evergood H & F Lux S.A.R..I..
    Additionally Nexi supports the transition to a cashless Europe.

    Unfortunately Ireland has a minuscule amount of choice of Banks. We do have credit unions but they have reduced the amount of savings from 30k to 20k in recent times.

    1. If you opt out, will they still transact through traditional means? May not be a bad idea to line up several credit union accounts.
