Business of Joint Committee
Matters Relating to the Banking Sector: Permanent TSB
Mr. Jeremy Masding:
It is a very narrow scheme for our branch staff, which is based on a historic scheme. The nature of the scheme has been changed through the years, such that it has done much more on a balanced scorecard. Like the Deputy, I am sure, I am very nervous about schemes which are driven by poor-quality lending or poor-quality outcomes for customers. This scheme is historic. We inherited it and since then we have changed the scorecard because I am more interested in fulfilling customer needs than just pushing products. That is the scheme, but it is only for the branch staff in Permanent TSB. It is not for anybody else.
