What is the future role of banks in our economy? Although this is by no means a uniquely Irish question, the planned withdrawal of Ulster Bank and KBC from the Irish market has drawn international attention to this topic. In this podcast, Conor Houlihan, Partner and Head of DLA Piper’s Finance, Projects & Restructuring practice in Ireland, speaks to Starling International’s Elaine Deehan, Tom McAleese of Alvarez & Marsal, Fergal McGrath from Dilosk/ICS Mortgages and Payzone’s Nadine McKeone. They discuss the future of banking in Ireland and the huge opportunity that exists for new and existing banking and financial services providers to drive competition and innovation towards more customer-centric offerings.
