Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach

Banking Sector in Ireland (Resumed): Permanent TSB and KBC Bank

9:45 am

Mr. Jeremy Masding:

As one would expect, I take a different perspective on that. Looking at the funding side of the balance sheet and the current accounts, we have introduced to the market what we call the Explorer current account, an account which rewards customers for banking with us. That was new to market and that is what we are here for. On the assets side of the balance sheet, in recent weeks we introduced a similar product which we call the two-plus-two mortgage, where we give 2% cash back up front plus a further 2% a month. This, again, is distinctive in the market. We will all have different views of course, but my perspective is that we are trying to develop interesting and different propositions for our customers. That is what the committee and the Irish population at large requires us to do and what we are trying to do.
