The expansion comes at a time when banks and other financial service providers are under increasing pressure to support service customers in a variety of departments, while also managing a growing volume of regulatory and compliance challenges. Cybercrime is a growing threat, with increased anti-money laundering and know your customer initiatives also putting pressure on resources. Higher interest rates could also provide a challenge for banks and their customers, Mr O’Brien said.
“Sustained higher interest rates are likely to have significant implications for the mortgage market as a whole. Though the mortgage interest relief measures announced in Budget 2024 will undoubtedly assist some of those who are struggling, they may not be enough to save others from falling into arrears,” he said.
“A structural change in Ireland’s retail banks could be imminent, as many experienced personnel will need to be reassigned to arrears departments. In turn, staff shortages could see banks struggle to process new mortgage applications expediently, all of which could have serious implications as new lending is the lifeblood of any bank.”
