Bank of Ireland announces north Mayo branch upgrade

THE Bank of Ireland has announced plans to invest €11.5 million across its nationwide branch network in 2023, with the Belmullet branch in north Mayo part of the upgrade plans.

The planned investment include refurbishments and enhancements to the branch network, upgrading of branch services, including ATMs in a number of locations, and ongoing maintenance works.

Additional works as part of the €11.5m investment will also include the installation of new external and internal ATMs in a range of branches, and the improvement of facilities for colleagues in over a dozen branches.

As part of this investment, Bank of Ireland also plans to install energy efficient LED lighting in each of its 169 branches in 2023, including all seven of its Mayo branches. This will achieve over 50% in energy savings from a reduction in lighting energy consumption, as the organisation looks to become more energy efficient and reduce its total energy consumption.

Commenting on the planned investment in its Mayo branch network, Susan Russell, director, retail Ireland, said: “Our branch network of 169 locations across Ireland, including the seven branches we operate in Mayo, is a very important part of how we serve our customers - whether that be for routine cash, cheque and coin transactions or more detailed conversations about loans, mortgages and pensions.

“That’s why we continually invest in this network, and 2023 will be no exception.

“I’m especially pleased that our Belmullet location will be upgraded during this year, and that we are also making further investments in ATM technology in our branches nationwide.”
