What is Emergency Cash?
If you or someone you know are stranded without an ATM card, you can get Emergency Cash.
- Send us a text message, use our app or visit www.open24.ie.
- We’ll text you a unique, once-off ATM code.
- Withdraw €100, €50 or €20 from any permanent tsb ATM within 2 hours.
Since we'll charge you €2 each time you set up an Emergency Cash withdrawal, you will need to have at least that fee available as well as the amount you chose.
How to get Emergency Cash
You can set up your Emergency Cash either online, using our app or by text message.
Please note: You can use Emergency Cash once per day, up to twice in any 30 days.
