Bank of Ireland

Bank of Ireland Group plc is an Irish commercial bank and one of the classic Big Four Irish banks. The Bank, as Ireland's premier banking organization, holds a unique place in Irish banking history. The former Governor and Company of the Bank of Ireland, an ancient institution created by Royal Charter in 1783, is at the heart of the modern-day group.

The Bank of Ireland is not, and has never been, the central bank of Ireland. However, in addition to being a commercial bank - a deposit-taking and credit institution - it also served as a central bank, much like the previously founded Bank of Scotland and Bank of England. In Ireland, the Group offers a wide range of financial services to the personal, commercial, industrial, and agricultural sectors. Checking and deposit services, overdrafts, term loans, mortgages, international asset financing, leasing, installment credit, debt financing, foreign currency facilities, interest and exchange rate hedging products, executor and trustee services are examples of such services.

Four essential values underpin the Bank of Ireland's mission. These guide all it says and does. They are its moral norms; a compass for working methods and daily behaviors. Living values helps the bank to provide the greatest service possible, holds it accountable, and requires it to deliver on its ability to always explore new solutions for the benefit of everyone; customers, colleagues, and communities.
