Withdrawal from Irish Banking Market: Engagement with KBC

Mr. Ale? Bla?ek:

If I may, the banking services are provided not only by the universal banks but also by other means such as neobanks, payment service providers, fintechs and niche providers, which are non-bank lenders that are active in mortgages. Yes, there are a limited number of big retail banks but customers still have a substantial choice in how and where they can buy financial products.
