Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform

Overview of Banking Sector: Permanent TSB

3:15 pm

Mr. Jeremy Masding:

I start from the premise that I outlined in my opening remarks. Members of the general public to whom I speak do not want to get caught up in the pre-2008 financial services complexity that was thrown at them. Therefore, if they wish to avoid complexity, Permanent TSB is really simple. We have a current account and savings accounts. We lend money to people who can pay it back. That is the model.
