Under the Criminal Justice (Money Laundering & Terrorist Financing) Acts 2010 & 2013, all banks, including permanent tsb are required by law to collect documentation to verify our customers’ identity and their residential address. 

In order to comply with this requirement, we have written to all customers from whom we require up-to-date documentation to ask that they provide the relevant documents. If you receive one of these letters, it is very important that you provide the Photo ID & Proof of Address required.  

The documentation may be provided to us by one of the following two ways, whichever you consider most convenient.

Option 1

Post copies of the documentation to permanent tsb using the enclosed prepaid envelope received with your letter. (Please note that the pre-paid envelope can only be used within the Republic of Ireland). Please enclose this letter with the documents.

If you do not receive a letter but you have moved house or not provided ID and address documentation to the bank within the last few years, you can post your documents to the following address: DVU Section, permanent tsb, 56-59 St Stephen’s Green, Dublin 2. Please enclose a note with your name and address and request that your identity documentation be updated. 

Or 

Option 2

Call into your local permanent tsb branch with the original documentation.

Please note: Where we cannot obtain the necessary documentation from a customer, we are required by law to cease providing services and ultimately, to discontinue the business relationship which would mean having to close accounts. In order to avoid this unfortunate scenario, we would greatly appreciate your co-operation with this request.
