Bank of Ireland is reviewing a rise in its provisions for compensation in its UK motor finance business from £143 million to about £350 million following an FCA consultation paper on commissions. The bank says the increase reflects a higher likelihood of eligible claims, the proposed compensation methodology and customer engagement. Implementation would reduce the CET1 ratio by around 35 basis points from 16.0% as of 30 June 2025. The bank will discuss the matter with the FCA and set the final provision in its 2025 annual results; costs may vary depending on the consultation outcome and customer take-up. » Mere på de.investing.com
