  • Opening Statement to the Joint Committee on Rural and Community Development
    Opening statement to the Joint Committee on Rural and Community Development The Need for a Law Regulating Abandoned Safety Deposits in Banks Jim Connolly 6 March 2019 Thank you for the opportunity to address the Committee about this issue – one, in my view, that has the potential to change history. Today I am asking you to support an amendment to the Dormant Deposit Act to place an obligation on banks to give back property that is being held in safekeeping on behalf of deceased Irish citizens. Safekeeping is an issue that I first became aware of in the 1990s when I worked in the Bank of Ireland group and I should start by readjusting your perception of what safekeeping is. If you’re anything like me, when you think of the term safekeeping, you’re immediately drawn to the image of a vault with rows of safety deposit boxes, each requiring two keys to open. That’s not how it worked. If the year was 1907 and you had an item that you wanted to lodge for safekeeping, you would package the item and give it to the bank manager. It’s important to note that the bank manager did not know what was in the package. He would simply note the deposit in the safekeeping register, give you a receipt and place your envelope, package, box or whatever in the safe alongside all of the other items. That’s what took me by surprise when I landed in the safe in Bank of Ireland in Rathmines in 1993 and started to question what all the envelopes and parcels and boxes were.

  • Northern Ireland Independent Service Quality Survey Results Personal Current Accounts
    Personal banking service quality – Northern Ireland Independent service quality survey results Personal current accounts Published August 2021 As part of a regulatory requirement, an independent survey was conducted to ask approximately 500 customers of each of the 10 largest personal current account providers if they would recommend their provider to friends and family. The results represent the view of customers who took part in the survey. These results are from an independent survey carried out between July 2020 and June 2021 by Ipsos MORI as part of a regulatory requirement, and we have published this information at the request of the providers and the Competition and Markets Authority so you can compare the quality of service from personal current account providers. In providing this information, we are not giving you any advice or making any recommendation to you. Customers with personal current accounts were asked how likely they would be to recommend their provider, their provider’s online and mobile banking services, services in branches and overdraft services to friends and family. The results show the proportion of customers, among those who took part in the survey, of each provider who said they were ’extremely likely’ or ‘very likely’ to recommend each service. Participating providers: AIB, Bank of Ireland UK, Barclays, Danske Bank, Halifax, HSBC UK, Monzo, Nationwide, Santander, Ulster Bank. Approximately 500 customers a year are surveyed across Northern Ireland for each provider; results are only published where at least 100 customers have provided an eligible score for that service in the survey period. 5,028 people were surveyed in total.
