PTSB COO Peter Vance & Expleo MD Phil Codd Launch PTSB Protect

Permanent TSB has introduced a new feature to its banking app which will help prevent customers falling victim to fraudulent scams.

"PTSB Protect" alerts customers when they receive a message containing a fraudulent link and blocks them from accessing a suspicious website, with the feature comparing links on a customer’s phone against a known blocklist which pose as legitimate websites to deceptively obtain personal or banking details.
