About us

The purpose of The Irish Banking Culture Board is to work with our member banks to build trustworthiness with the public. The IBCB’s ambition is to be a trusted independent voice in relation to banking culture, to hold our members to account and to promote good practice. We promote and measure an environment in which ethical behaviour lies at the heart of banking; fair customer outcomes are achieved; staff are supported and reputation for competence is rediscovered. To do this, it is essential that culture and behavioural change are prioritised at the most senior levels in our member banks, from Board level down. We work with our member banks and a wide range of other stakeholders to achieve that ambition. The IBCB is not a regulator and is not an industry body. We recognise that the restoration of trust in an industry which has been the subject of so many challenges and issues will not be easy but, we are confident that, over time, we can contribute to positively changing bank culture to the benefit of the two cohorts most impacted by this culture – bank customers and bank staff. The IBCB was established in April 2019, by the 5 retail banks operating in Ireland at that time; Allied Irish Banks, Bank of Ireland, KBC Bank Ireland, PTSB & Ulster Bank. Two of these banks, KBC Bank Ireland and Ulster Bank are currently in the process of exiting the market, and therefore are no longer members of the IBCB. The remaining licenced retail banks, Allied Irish Banks, Bank of Ireland and PTSB are the current member banks of the IBCB.

  • The éist 2024 Public Trust in Banking report marks a turning point for Irish banking, with public trust levels entering positive territory for the first time since measurement began in 2021. This progress reflects years of cultural reform that we’re aiming to achieve, prioritising key drivers like integrity, dependability, and purpose. Trust has grown steadily, with a 16-point increase among the public and an impressive 33-point rise among SMEs. These results demonstrate the impact of sustained efforts to reshape the sector, fostering a more reliable and customer-focused banking culture in Ireland. #banking #irishbanks #sme More information and the report can be read here: https://lnkd.in/eR2MMMia

  • https://lnkd.in/ewjz8cmu The Irish Banking Culture Board (IBCB), has today published the 2024 éist report, marking its fourth annual survey of public trust in banking. The éist report, based on the Edelman Trust research model, shows trust in retail banking among the Irish public entering positive territory for the first time since IBCB began measuring in 2021. The findings reflect a renewed sense of trust in banks generally and the highest trust levels recorded to date: a 16-point increase among the general public and a substantial 33-point rise among SMEs. Speaking about the 2024 éist findings, CEO of the IBCB, Marion Kelly, said: “Since our establishment in 2019, the IBCB and our member banks have focused on rebuilding trust in banking in Ireland and this survey is a key means for us to assess the impact of this work. Over the past four years, findings have consistently shown steady increases in trust in the Irish banking sector. While there is still work to do to reach the same levels of trust in banking found across many other jurisdictions, the progress to date is significant.” You can read the annual report on our website :

  • Financial abuse is a core element of coercive control. During the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence, we are spotlighting financial wellbeing resources to help survivors and those supporting them. In partnership with Safe Ireland and TASC - Think-tank for Action on Social Change, the IBCB and our member banks (AIB, Bank of Ireland and PTSB) collaborated to design and deliver ‘Providing the Tools for Financial Wellbeing’ training to key workers who work directly with victims and survivors of domestic abuse. Over the past two years, our initiative has trained over 100 key workers to support survivors in achieving financial independence. As part of the training the Trauma-Informed Toolkit offers practical tools and strategies to help survivors rebuild their lives and guide them toward financial independence. 💡 Learn more and access the toolkit and resources here: www.frtdv.ie/resources

  • Today is the first day of the 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence. Safe Ireland estimate that that over 90% of victims of domestic abuse in Ireland also experience financial abuse. In 2022, the IBCB, with our member banks AIB, Bank of Ireland and PTSB, partnered with TASC - Think-tank for Action on Social Change and Safe Ireland, with an initiative to provide financial wellbeing training to key workers, who work directly with survivors of domestic abuse. The initiative has the potential to benefit the nearly 15,000 women and children across Ireland, who use specialised domestic violence services every year.
