As the Deputy may have noted from my reply to his earlier question on 22 June 2015, the Credit Review Office (CRO) assists SME or farm borrowers who have had an application for credit of up to €3m declined or reduced by AIB, Bank of Ireland or Ulster Bank (who joined the review process on 1 June 2015) and who feel that they have a viable business proposition. PTSB will shortly begin participating in the credit review process.
The tables following, provided by the CRO, provide the information requested by the Deputy:
- | Bank Internal Appeals | Overturns | % Overturns |
---|---|---|---|
2012 | 392 | 100 | 26% |
2013 | 392 | 124 | 32% |
2014 | 361 | 83 | 23% |
- | Credit Review Office Applications | Credit ReviewOffice Reviews Completed | Overturns | % Overturns |
