Tracker Mortgage Examination


As part of the Central Bank of Ireland led Tracker Mortgage Examination taking place in all relevant Irish retail banks, permanent tsb has identified 1,983 mortgage accounts which were entitled to redress and/or compensation as a result of failures by the bank in respect of the management and administration of tracker mortgage entitlements. Redress and/or compensation has been offered to the account holders of all 1,983 accounts and 99% of those customers have now received it. The Bank understands the impact that these failures have had on its customers and has written directly to each impacted account holder to apologise for the failure.

The Examination set out to identify any instances where there was a failure in the administration or management of a mortgage account and to ensure relevant accounts were corrected and returned to the position they would be in had no failure occurred.

In line with the Central Bank of Ireland requirements, an independent advisory firm, KPMG, was appointed to oversee key aspects of the Examination which is also subject to Central Bank of Ireland review.
