You can set aside money in Jars/savings wallets. Each has its own balance, so you can use one to pay bills and another to save for something special.

You can create and manage up to 10 Jars in the An Post Money app and 2 wallets on our online banking website. You will be able to see Jars you set up from the App on the online banking website.

Once your money is safely in a Jar/wallet, it won’t be withdrawn without your authorisation, and you won’t be able to use it for purchases or withdrawals with your debit card.

You can use your Jars/wallets as you choose and even name them. For instance, one wallet jar could be called ‘Rent and Bills’ while the other could be named ‘Holiday Fund’.

You need to have push notifications for the An Post Money app. To do this you will have to go to settings on your device settings menu and turn on app notifications for the An Post Money App.

If you need another way to pay from your account - you can pay using Apple Pay, Google Pay or Fitbit Pay. Once you’ve set up your card, you’re instantly up and running and it works exactly the same way as if you had your debit card on you. Instructions on how to set this up if you haven’t done so already can be found in our Digital Wallets section in the FAQs.

Even if your pin won’t work you can still make contactless payments with your debit card. Remember contactless limit is max €50 per transaction on your debit card, with 5 transactions allowed a day up to a daily limit of €150. This limit does not apply to Apple Pay, Google Pay and Fitbit Pay, however merchants may apply their own limits

You need to have push notifications for the An Post Money app. To do this you will have to go to settings on your device settings menu and turn on app notifications for the An Post Money App.

In the event that you are having an issue with your PIN, go to the nearest ATM and insert the card, key in your PIN and select Other Services.
Under Other Services, select the PIN unlock option.
Once you have selected the PIN unlock option you do not need to take any further action and your PIN will now work for all ATM and card transactions.

If you incorrectly entered your password 3 times, you’ll be locked out of your account. This is done to prevent unauthorised third parties from accessing your account. You’ll need to use the forgot password option from the log in screeen on your mobile app.

While we’re updating our online banking platform to match our new app, you may notice some differences between the two.

Jar names may not be reflected on online banking, where the old savings wallet names will still apply. For a short time, your Jars will still be called savings wallets in online banking. Any new Jars you set up in your app will not display your chosen name but instead you will see a numbered Jar e.g. on your app you would see ‘Holiday Jar’ but on your online banking it will display Jar 1.

We know this may be confusing. Please bear with us while we update online banking and align it with the new app. If you have any questions, please contact us on +353 1 705 8000.

Due to EU Regulations applicable to all banks in the EU and in order to protect customers and ensure Strong Customer Authentication (SCA) for their payments, on occasions we will ask customers to approve their payments by entering a One Time Passcode.

In line with EU regulations, all banks are required to ensure customers are protected when they make payments online. In order to do this all banks must deploy Strong Customer Authentication (SCA), to ensure that it is genuinely you whenever you log in or authorise payments. SCA is designed to help you keep your financial information safe and make online banking even more secure. At An Post, in order to deploy SCA we have updated our Online Banking site to provide additional security to keep customers accounts safe.

Safety and security

Your funds are managed by An Post. Since we are not a Credit Institution, your funds are not covered by the Deposit Guarantee Scheme in Ireland. However, we place customers’ funds in segregated accounts (known as ‘safeguarding’ or ‘client funds’ accounts) with Financial Institutions that are approved by the Board of An Post to accept An Post deposits and that are authorised to operate in Ireland as a Credit Institution, in line with EU regulations and supervised by the Central Bank of Ireland.

This means that your funds are separated from our other assets and can be used to repay you and other customers in the unlikely event of our insolvency.

Yes, we give you an extra level of security with the Mastercard SecureCode®, offered in partnership with Mastercard. Every time you buy something online at participating websites, they’ll ask you to enter random characters from your Mastercard SecureCode password to authorise the purchase and confirm you are the card owner.

When you make your first online purchase with a participating retailer, you’ll be asked to register for the Mastercard SecureCode service. You can ignore this request once, but you must register the next time in order to be able to buy from participating websites in the future.

You can also pre-register your card before doing any online shopping. When you register, you’ll be asked for your card number and some additional information.

Lost or stolen cards

If your card is lost or stolen, please call our customer service immediately on freephone 1800 267 678. We will cancel your card and issue a replacement within seven working days.

When you receive your replacement card, sign the signature strip on the back of the card. Then call +353 1 705 8000 to activate it and retrieve your PIN.

If you don’t report a lost or stolen card, you may lose some or all of the money in the same way as if you lost cash.

If your card is damaged, call our customer service on +353 1 705 8000 to arrange a replacement card.

Account Changes

Step 2: Hold the back of your phone close to the payment reader for a few seconds

When you’re done paying, a blue check mark will appear on the screen.
If the check mark isn’t on your screen:

Try holding your phone in a different way. Your near-field communication (NFC) antenna could be near the top or bottom of your device.
Hold your phone closer to the payment reader.
Hold your phone for a few extra seconds.

If there is a check mark but the cashier says the payment didn’t work:

Double-check that the store accepts mobile payments.
Contact your bank to make sure your card is working right.

Step 3: If prompted, follow the instructions on the screen

Some stores use older software that asks for a PIN or signature. If you’re asked, follow the steps on the screen.

Debit cards: Enter the PIN you set up with your bank. This PIN is different from the PIN you use to unlock your device.
Credit cards: For larger transactions, sign the receipt or the signature box on the screen.

On the transactions overview screen, tap on: Manage cards

Open the Fitbit app. With your watch nearby, tap the Today tab, and tap your profile picture. Tap your device image, then tap the Wallet tile.
Follow the on-screen instructions to add a payment card. In some cases, your bank may require additional verification. If you’re setting up Fitbit Pay for the first time, you may be prompted to set a 4-digit PIN code for your device. Note that you also need passcode protection enabled for your phone.
After you add a card, follow the on-screen instructions to turn on notifications for your phone (if you haven’t already done so) to complete the setup.

Open the Fitbit Pay screen on your watch:
- Ionic and Versa series — if you chose Fitbit Pay as your button shortcut, hold the button on your watch for two seconds to activate it. Otherwise, swipe down from the top of your screen. After your notifications appear, swipe down again to open the control center. Tap the Fitbit Pay icon.
- All other devices — when you’re ready to pay, press and hold the left button on your device for two seconds. Swipe to the Payments screen if it's not shown.
If prompted, enter your four digit watch PIN code. Your default card appears on the screen.
To pay with your default card, hold your wrist near the payment terminal. To pay with a different card: swipe up on Ionic and Versa series, or tap Charge 3 and Charge 4, to find the card you want to use. Then hold your wrist near the payment terminal.
When the payment succeeds, your device vibrates and you’ll see a confirmation on the screen.

If the payment terminal doesn’t recognize Fitbit Pay, make sure the device face is near the reader and that the cashier knows you’re using a contactless payment.

Sign in to Payment methods.
At the bottom, click Add payment method.
Click Add credit or debit card.
Enter your card info.
If you’re asked to verify your payment method, choose an option from the list.
