ALL VISIBLE SIGNS of the National Irish Bank will vanish from today as Danske completes a rebrand of its Irish operations.
National Irish Bank will now function solely under the Danske Bank brand, a move which the institution says provides evidence of its dedication to ongoing investment in Ireland.
It has also completed a “significant restructure of its Irish business from a traditional retail bank to a specialised bank focussing on corporate and private clients”.
Personal customers will now be offered an online and telephone service after the bank’s 27-branch network was shut last week. Advisory centres have also been established in nine locations across the country and will be able to facilitate face-to-face meetings if needed.
About 100 jobs were lost as a result of the decision to shut the physical locations.

Who cares as long as it functions?
I don’t think many of us have any great sense of pride in local banks anymore.
National Irish Bank was part of National Australia Bank for many years, even having the same logo and nobody noticed.
When are we going to change the name of the country to “The West German Isle” ?
…but Danske Bank is Danish.
Danske Bank is Danish…..
OMG now we will have to learn Danish as well as German
What has that to do with anything???
Mmmm. Danish
does not matter what name the bank is called,as if they get into trouble we will bail them out.
Why would the Irish taxpayer bail out a bank regulated from Denmark???
No foreign bank has been directly bailed out here, nor will they be.
Oh Yeah!!!… guess I won’t be reminded of this every time I walk past one of their branches anymore….
SMcB.If we bailed out Multi national bondholders,why not a Danish Bank?
Should be renamed CrAzY pLaCe
have your say
