How do I use Emergency Cash?

You need to register for mobile banking through online banking Open24. Then you can set up a transaction either online or by text message.

Online:

• Login to online banking Open24
• Select "Mobile Banking" from the menu
• Go to the Emergency Cash panel and select "Send Emergency Cash"
• Select the amount of Emergency Cash you wish to send (€20, €50 or €100).

By text message:

• Text the word cash + mobile number + operator code of the person who will receive the Emergency Cash to 51309

The operator codes are:

• Vodafone = VF
• Meteor = MR
• Three = TR
• Tesco = TS

What's next?

We’ll text a cash code, a unique 6 digit code to you or the person who’s going to receive the Emergency Cash.

At a permanent tsb ATM, press enter + yes (to the Emergency Cash confirmation) + mobile number + cash code.
