AIB to pay 55,000 customers amid fresh tracker mortgage controversy
The Central Bank of Ireland has said it is engaging with AIB after the lender confirmed plans to apologise to more than 50,000 customers amid a fresh controversy regarding its portfolio of tracker mortgages. AIB said it will write to 55,000 customers before the end of the month to address the pace at which it has passed through rate reductions implemented by the European Central Bank (ECB). It is understood that 35,000 mortgage accounts have been impacted, all of which were previously owned by Ulster Bank before it exited the Irish market. In January 2023, AIB was cleared to acquire a portfolio of performing tracker mortgages from Ulster Bank worth €5.7bn. AIB previously said it expected to generate about €90m of total income from the portfolio on an annualised basis. Before the loans were acquired by AIB, tracker mortgage customers saw interest rates updated in response to ECB rates at a significantly faster rate than they are now, prompting some customers to complain about the length of time rate cuts are currently passed through. AIB, which uses credit servicing firm Mars Capital to administer its former Ulster Bank portfolio, said it will make a once off "goodwill payment" of €75 to affected customers, which will amount to €2.6m in total. It added that it will credit customers' mortgage account for any difference in interest paid due to differing approaches from the time their accounts moved to AIB to now. A spokesperson for the Central Bank of Ireland said it is aware of the issue and is engaging with AIB, adding that customers should contact AIB directly if they have any queries regarding their mortgage products. An AIB spokesperson said: "We will be writing to tracker mortgage customers from the 29th of August whose accounts transferred to AIB from Ulster Bank to explain our approach to how ECB interest rate changes are applied. "This approach is the same in both a rate increase and decrease scenario and is in line with the customer's agreement with us but is different to Ulster Bank's approach. Customers have not been overcharged. "We are sorry we did not communicate this change in approach sooner and to acknowledge this, we are making a once off goodwill payment of €75 and crediting the customer's mortgage account for any difference in interest paid due to the differing approaches from the time their account moved to AIB to now. "Exact details will be communicated in the letter that each customer will receive and no action is required by customers.' It's understood that AIB's approach means that when rates are falling, customers incur a cost compared to their previous arrangement with Ulster Bank. However, this approach remains in line with customers' mortgage agreements. In June last year, AIB paid €3.3m in "goodwill payments" to apologise for "teething problems" that affected almost 33,000 former Ulster Bank tracker mortgage customers who had since transferred to AIB. A year before that, AIB was hit with a record fine of €83.3m for its role in the tracker mortgage scandal, having admitted to 57 separate regulatory breaches. The fine was separate from the more than €125m that AIB has been required to pay to date in redress, compensation and account balance adjustments to impacted customers, including as part of the Central Bank's Tracker Mortgage Examination.

UCC's €114,000 spend on 'brand refresh' project raises concerns
University College Cork (UCC) has so far spent almost €114,000 on a 'brand refresh' project aimed at improving the university's international reputation and impact. Last year, UCC was forced to introduce a cost-cutting plan and review all of its capital spending projects after recording a deficit of €11.2m during the prior financial year. By December, staff members were told by the university it was expected to return to a surplus after a remarkable financial turnaround. Under Project Alpha, all discretionary expenditure at UCC was scrutinised and only essential expenditure was approved. Spending on new mobile phones, IT, stationery, and furniture was also paused, and a revised policy on travel and expenses was developed. In a parliamentary question submitted recently by Labour TD Alan Kelly, higher education minister James Lawless confirmed that a 'UCC Group brand refresh project' has been underway since 2021. 'In line with the adoption of its strategic plan, Securing our Future 2023-2028, the university made the strategic decision to evaluate its impact and reputation in order to take steps to optimise the role that the university plays in the areas of recruitment and research.' Irish language He added this 'brand refresh' is a practice regularly used by universities, and it was the first time since 2012 UCC has undertaken such a review. 'The review was also prompted by the requirements of the Official Languages Act including, for instance, giving prominence to the Irish language in university signage and identity,' he added. Following a public tender, brand agency Neworld was appointed to work with the university, he added. This external review, undertaken by Neworld between 2021 and 2024, was at a cost of €113,686. "It is expected that the brand refresh will strengthen the university's reputation, improving its national and international profile in a way that has both financial and academic benefits,' Mr Lawless said. 'The institution is confident that the investment will generate a significant return over the coming years with tangible financial impacts.' Mr Kelly said he queried the spend on the brand refresh, stating he found it "very strange" the university would spend money on branding while in a dire financial situation. The university had been in to the Public Accounts Committee a number of times, he added. "It was a deep concern to everyone dependent on the university, not only students but also workers there. It does huge and valuable work,' Mr Kelly said. 'However, I am concerned if this is good value money at this point in time. It's a considerable cost to date, which will multiply as the university makes any changes.' Mr Kelly added that he will be asking for the final costs associated with the rebrand, including how much the university spends on replacing and updating branding.
