Avant Money becomes Irish bank branch of Bankinter

Avant Money now a fully licensed bank here, with 7% share of the mortgage market

Niall Corbett, CEO Avant Money: 'Consumers deserve more choice in banking.'

Competition in Ireland’s banking sector has increased with confirmation that lender Avant Money has become a branch of Spanish-owned Bankinter Group.

It means Avant Money is now a fully licensed bank in the Irish market following the successful passporting notification process that involved the Bank of Spain, the European Central Bank, and the Central Bank of Ireland.
