To apply for a new credit card, you will need some or maybe all of the following: Standard AML documentation – this will be required as part of the application i.e., photographic proof of your identity (photo ID) and proof of your residential address. Statements from your old bank – for credit purposes, any new applicants will be required to supply statements. Some providers may ask for 3 months of statements and will accept these from the old provider. Proof of Income e.g., the last 3 months’ bank statements/recent payslip(s). As above, bank statements from your old provider will likely be accepted by the new provider, if statements are requested. If you have been in your job less than 12 months, you may be asked for proof of employment permanency. Proof of Immigration status if you are not an EU citizen. You will also be asked for your Personal Public Service Number (PPSN) if it has not already been obtained. If you have closed or are due to close a credit card account with Ulster Bank, you will have been charged Government Stamp Duty at closure. You should present the closure letter you will have received from Ulster Bank to your chosen new provider at account opening – this letter is called the “Stamp Duty Letter of Closure” and will confirm payment of stamp duty on account closure. Your new provider will take note of this to ensure you are not charged again in 2023
