Withdrawal from Irish Banking Market: Engagement with Ulster Bank and KBC Ireland

Mr. Frank Jansen:

It is our intention to support our customers in this process to find a new home for their current accounts. For those 1,500 customers, as Mr. Lennon indicated, who are more active users of the overdraft, we think that there is a solution possible. We will work with them. We will listen to them and see, if there is really a need, how we can help them to repay those overdrafts ultimately. Then we will, indeed, see how we will deal with that going forward. We have not decided anything because we believe that those customers in most cases will be able to repay their overdrafts or find a new overdraft with a new current account provider that is linking up with their financial needs or both.
