The Bank of Ireland has said it will provide an update on branch closures in Northern Ireland after reports it is to significantly scale back its operation.
Monday s Irish Times reported the bank is considering a revamp of its operations in NI although it would still maintain a local presence.
The bank has 28 branches across Northern Ireland and has been engaged in a review since August last year. It said all options were being considered for its retail business.
Sources told The Irish Times a number of NI branches are to close as part of a cost-cutting plan to reshape the business. They indicated this could mean more focus on business banking as opposed to personals as its market share was greater among the business sector.
