The Report on the Standard Bank Account pilot project was published on my Department’s website on 10 January 2014.

The Financial Inclusion Working Group (FIWG), chaired by my Department, and including stakeholders from other Government Departments, the Central Bank of Ireland, retail banks, An Post, the National Consumer Agency and voluntary sector organisations will work closely together on the finalisation and roll out of the Standard Bank Account. It is expected that the rollout of the Standard Bank Account will be achieved during 2014.
