Bank of Ireland is the sum of many parts, working together to deliver on our collective strategy. Whether it's designing and selling products, serving customers, or trading on international markets, every part of the Bank operates as one group, one team.

Our ambition is to be a leading UK multi-niche bank by providing simple, flexible, and accessible financial services to UK customers, both directly and through partnerships with trusted brands and intermediaries.

Our partnership with the Post Office, has allowed us to expand our product offerings and strengthen relationships with existing customers while attracting new ones. In Northern Ireland, we operate a full-service retail and commercial branch network. Our Bank of Ireland for Intermediaries mortgage business has built strong partnerships with some of the UK's largest intermediary networks. We also operate a successful car and asset finance business under the Northridge Finance brand across Northern Ireland and Great Britain.
