The approach being taken by each of the banks can be considered on a case by case basis. One can argue that the IBRC and AIB, both of which are splitting it completely, are in a different situation because they are completely owned by the State, whereas the State has a stakeholding of less than 15% in Bank of Ireland. The situation of a customer on a tracker mortgage and a customer on a mortgage with a variable interest rate is entirely different. Would Bank of Ireland consider offering customers on variable interest rates a type of split mortgage that is different from that offered to customers on tracker mortgages?
