Regulation Details

Anglo Irish Bank is authorised by the Central Bank of Ireland and is subject to limited regulation by the Financial Services Authority in the UK. Details about the extent of our regulation by the Financial Services Authority are available from us on request.

On 1st November 2009, the Financial Services Authority introduced a new set of Rules and Guidance by which they will supervise Banks which accept Retail Deposits in the UK. The new Rules and Guidance are referred to as the Banking Conduct of Business Rules (“BCOBS”) and they place particular emphasis on the fair treatment of customers.These regulations replace the Banking Code (a voluntary code to which we were a signatory), which regulated savings accounts and was enforced by the Banking Code Standards Board (“BCSB”). With effect from 1st November 2009 our Terms and Conditions must comply with both the Payment Services Regulations and BCOBS. As a result BCSB will not have any responsibility over savings products from 1st November 2009.

We are also members of the Irish Deposit Protection Scheme.

Our customers receive protection through the Irish Deposit Protection scheme up to €100,000 per individual depositor per bank. Further detailed information is shown in our FAQ section
