AIB boss admits the bank 'made a mistake' over its no-cash plan at branches

“We got it wrong. We made a mistake,” the AIB chief executive said.

AIB boss Colin Hunt has said the bank “had made a mistake” over its now aborted plan to withdraw cash services from more of its branches.

The lender did a u-turn last week after facing a public outcry and push back from politicians on its plan to withdraw the cash services from a further 70 of its branches. Taoiseach Micheál Martin had spoken out against the proposal.
