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

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

Ms Dara Deering:

Returning to Mr. Wim Verbraeken's opening comment, we have done a lot of research with consumers and what we hear back from consumers and customers of KBC is that they want to see value over the long term. That is how we have positioned our proposition and as Mr. Verbraeken stated in his opening statement, it is also the reason we announced a ten-year fixed rate product, which we will launch on Monday, which has a range of rates as low as 2.95%. Again that is looking at experience internationally from other KBC entities, where people tend to lock in and fix for longer to get certainty over their repayments.
