IBRC has confirmed that it has a banking licence which was issued by the Central Bank of Ireland (“CBI”) on 19th May 1987 and which remains in effect today. As a licensed credit institution, IBRC is subject to the CBI's Licensing and Supervision Requirements for Credit Institutions along with a wide range of other legal and regulatory obligations.

IBRC has informed me that the bank maintains a variety of bank accounts with correspondent banks across a variety of currencies. These accounts are used to enable customer loan repayments, derivative settlements, payment of supplier invoices, foreign currency settlements, etc. At 31 December 2012 IBRC maintained approximately 30 active bank accounts with correspondent banks. All bank accounts maintained by IBRC are operated on negotiated commercial terms.
