PTSB credit card FAQs
Can I increase my PTSB credit card's limit?
Yes if you meet PTSB’s criteria. If you’re interested in applying for a higher credit limit, visit your local branch.
They can review your current credit situation and decide if it’s possible to increase your credit limit. They will assess things like your income, outgoings and any other credit you have.
Will I be charged Government Stamp Duty twice if I switch card providers?
No. When you request to close your account, you’ll have to pay €30 Government Stamp Duty (GSD) but your provider should give you a letter confirming you’ve paid it.
You must forward this to the provider you’re switching to, in this case the permanent tsb Visa Department, to ensure you don’t pay twice.
Do I have to pay fees with a PTSB credit card?
There is no set up fee or monthly for the card but you’ll have to pay the annual Government Stamp Duty charge of €30.
There are also fees applied in different situations, for example:
- Making a late payment
- Withdrawing cash (cash advance)
- Going over your credit limit
