In common with the other Big Four banks of Northern Ireland, the First Trust Bank retains the right to issue its own banknotes. Until the name change in 1991, these banknotes bore the name Allied Irish Bank. These are [[pound sterling]] notes and equal in value to [[Bank of England note issues|Bank of England notes]], and should not be confused with banknotes of the former [[Irish pound]]. ▼
Earlier note issues by the bank were made under the bank's previous names: the Provincial Bank of Ireland Ltd. (to 1976), Allied Irish Banks Ltd. (1977 - 1986), and Allied Irish Banks PLC (1987 - 1993). ▼

First Trust Bank's final issue of notes depicted two generic people, one male, one female. They appear as children on the £1 and £5 notes, as middle-aged on the £10 and £20, and finally as elderly on the £50 and £100. The obverse designs generally feature images associated with the [[Spanish Armada]], commemorating the [[Spanish Armada in Ireland|wrecking of 24 Armada ships]] off the coast of [[County Antrim]] in 1588:<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/history/british/gal_coast_07.shtml|title=British Isles Coast Gallery By Mark Horton|publisher=BBC|access-date=15 October 2008}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.northantrim.com/girona_tribute.htm|title=Giant's Causeway – The Armada|publisher=NorthAntrim.com|access-date=31 October 2008|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090215041838/http://www.northantrim.com/girona_tribute.htm|archive-date=15 February 2009|url-status=dead}}</ref>

A £5 note featuring [[Dunluce Castle]] on the obverse and a £1 note also featuring the Girona were issued by the Provincial Bank of Ireland and by AIB, but have not been issued by First Trust Bank.
In February 2019, First Trust Bank ceased issuing its own banknotes in circulation and replaced them with Bank of England banknotes as they are withdrawn from circulation. First Trust Bank notes could continue to be used until 30 June 2022, after which time they ceased to be legal currency but can still be paid into bank accounts, or exchanged for Bank of England notes at branches of AIB (NI).
