In December, I was one of its customers who were the subject of a third-party hack, with my phone number, name and account number at risk. It feels from the very outside like a bank under pressure. TSB hasn’t been covering itself in glory lately. But I can’t help but feel that perhaps there is a comfort in being with a big bank, with their big profits, big balance sheets, diversified risks (operating in NZ and Australia), and listed company status which means a swift flow of information such as when a bank has a problem, or, its been party to a hack. Yeah it doesn't have many branches and they're quickly diminishing to almost none, but what do you need them for, nowadays, anyway? Yeah TSB doesn’t have particularly exciting products, but the service is great. Our bank manager for many years was named Joy, we could call her. TSB’s charm is in its small bank, can-get-someone-on-the-phone, realness. “We’ve had a massive amount of work to do, but now we’re ready to springboard into a new era of profitable growth and innovation,” said Cooper. Cooper said the bank had dealt with a major compliance uplift, significant systems and technology upgrades, COVID-19, and considerable regulatory developments. Then, the now-outgoing CEO Donna Cooper was heralding TSB’s great leap forward, with the little Taranaki-bank-that-could, “hitting its stride” and an improved profit performance of a little more than $38 million after tax after “12 months” and “brave decisions”.Ĭooper said the bank’s focus and investment in the past three years, and last 12 months in particular, "was required to set the bank up for the future".

TSB’s latest financial result is a bit of a stinker, and I can’t say I saw it coming. It's worth remembering though that you need to carefully examine your own financial situation before taking out any loan to ensure that you can afford the repayments into the future.I never paid much attention to my bank’s financial performance. It certainly shows that there is now rampant competitiveness in the Irish car finance market, after years of consumers often struggling to find affordable credit. The €200 cashback is designed to ease the financial burden experienced by customers when they are buying a new car." Nevertheless, it is important to point out that the incentive is also available for loans to purchase new cars. Marcus Brady, Head of Consumer Finance at Permanent TSB said: "We have specifically timed this customer incentive to coincide with the peak months for used car sales in the Irish Market, which are February, March and April. The package also comes with a complimentary voucher a car history check.

The bank claims that full 100 per cent of value finance is available, can be approved in as little as three hours and paid into an account within 24 hours. €200 cash back will be paid into the account of loan holders within 30 days of the loan being taken out. Permanent TSB is trying to tempt car buyers out of their PCPs by offering a cash back deal on personal car loans taken out for €6,000 or more.
