    From the website:

    "Please note that the Clubcard Credit Card is not currently available to new customers. Existing customers can continue to use their card as normal."

    There are no Tesco bank products for new customers in offer at all.
    Does it mean that Tesco Bank will shortly cease its operations in Ireland?

    Tesco Bank are operating in Ireland under EU passporting rules. Tesco Bank cannot operate under passporting post Brexit so they either need a new legal structure or leave Ireland. It seems that they are going with the latter option.

    What happens to Tesco credit card holders after brexit? Will the cards still be valid or will they cease trading here and waive any outstanding balance?

    The speculation is that Tesco Bank will sell their existing customer base to another credit card provider.

    Presumably that means an end to the clubcard points.
    That was the only thing that the Tesco credit card had going for it.
