By February 2010, the closure of the Postbank unit had been announced, and the operation was wound down by the end of December 2010.<ref>{{cite news |url= http://www.rte.ie/news/2010/0226/postbank.html |work=RTÉ News |title=Postbank to 'Wind Down' by End of Year |date=26 February 2010 |access-date=8 May 2020}}</ref>
