Opening a PTSB Online Instant access a/c

A friend who is not a customer of the bank wants to open one of these. Trouble is you can only apply via Open24.

You cant register for Open 24 unless you allready have an account.

He could open a 21 day regular saver and stick a euro a month into it but this account won't give him Open 24 access.

Is there any other workaround apart from opening a current account.

You can open a PTSB 'regular' demand account which will give you Open24 access.

thanks Ciaran, the only way I could see that type of account on their website was by doing a 'search'

He opened a Demand Deposit today and now has access to Open24 and able to apply for an Instant Access Account.

Would he be permitted to do this without passing any money through the Demand Deposit a/c first or ever.

Dont want him to get locked out or in trouble.

Great, I'm glad that worked for you.

I don't see why you would be under any obligation to fund the 'regular' PTSB Demand account.
