By bringing the documents we need with you, you’ll save time and have your new account opened in no time. Whether you are a new or existing EBS customer, to open a new savings account you will be asked to provide:
Personal identification documentation – such as a valid passport or valid driver’s licence. You must bring an original, not a copy.
Proof of your permanent address – for example, a current utility bill, dated within the last six months (Gas, ESB, landline phone), bank statement, motor or home insurance renewal document. Again, documents must be originals.
Proof of your PPS number
Withdrawals may be made from the account as set out in the general terms and conditions for our demand accounts.

If the account was opened after 1st January 2016, payments cannot be made from the account by standing order or direct debit except for:
(a) standing orders to any other EBS account; or
