Withdrawal from Irish Banking Market: Engagement with Ulster Bank and KBC Ireland
Mr. Eamonn Crowley:
That is fine. I am just stating a fact; that is all. In that respect, we will be examining our rate. We have fixed rates on offer. It is absolutely our intention to retain Ulster bank customers who join our book, not lose them to other players. We will adjust our rates accordingly.
With regard to the interest rate environment, we will just have to see how that evolves. We can see that non-bank players are actually increasing their fixed rates whereas the banks are not at this moment. That is a differentiating factor in the market. It is our intention to retain those customers.
