You'll no longer be able to use the ATM at a number of branches.
Allied Irish Bank (AIB) has announced some major changes to 70 branches across the country, by making the outlets cashless.
This means the branches will not have notes, coins, cheques, foreign exchange, bank drafts and will also remove any drop safes and night safes. ATMs outside the branches will also be removed.
"We regularly review our services to make sure we continue to provide a modern, community-based, sustainable banking service," AIB said on its website.
"During our most recent review, we decided to change our services in some of our branches.
"We based our decision on falling levels of cash usage and cheque transactions, and a rise in the popularity of non-cash alternatives such as digital and card payments. The cost of security and handling cash has also risen."
If there is an ATM outside the branch where services are changing, that will also be removed.
The changes will be rolled out in a number of branches from 30 September and then more from 21 October, with 70 branches being converted in total.
Here's the full list of banks being converted, and when:
