BoI cuts back service in branches

Bank of Ireland has cut its counter cash services to three days a week across a network of branches.

The move affects 41 smaller outlets, with customers advised to use automated services such as ATMs and lodge and withdrawal stations for cash transaction on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

A spokeswoman for the bank says the initiative is based on “cost-efficiency,” and that “the introduction of expanded self-service options is driven by the need of our customers for faster delivery of basic services”.
