A surprise decision by AIB to set aside an additional €300m to help compensate 5,900 more tracker mortgage

Irish banking faces another overcharging scandal, as EBS investigates the way it has bundled charges for building and life insurance payments and mortgage protection insurance into its monthly mortgage bills.

Eamon Quinn Irish banks will have to invest significant funds to repair “outdated and fragmented” computer systems and are still failing their customers, the Central Bank deputy governor has said.

It requires the blind optimism of a Sligo football supporter dreaming of bringing Sam Maguire on a visit to Benbulben to imagine the Irish Banking Culture Board, an “independent industry initiative” funded by five banks will lead to customer-friendly reforms.

The costs of a record €21m fine the Central Bank imposed on Permanent TSB for its part in the industry-wide tracker mortgage probe should not be passed onto customers in higher loan costs and fees, the financial adviser who did the most to uncover the scandal has urged.

Philip O’Leary, managing partner of Cork law firm FitzGerald Legal & Advisory, has been appointed as a board member to the Irish Banking Culture Board (IBCB), funded by Ireland’s five main retail banks with the aim of rebuilding trust in the sector.

For far too many people, the phrase “bank customer care” has become an oxymoron mocking the unequal relationship between financial institutions and everyday customers.

The financial adviser credited as one of the architects in exposing the €1bn tracker mortgage scandal has insisted he “will not become a member of the club” when joining the newly established banking culture board.

Greater transparency, treating customers with fairness and maintaining the highest ethical standards will be the focus of a new board tasked with overseeing a change in banking culture.

TDs and Senators have cast doubt on the effectiveness of the new board set up to improve the behaviour of banks in the wake of the €1bn tracker mortgage scandal.
