The Irish public has lower trust in its banking system than consumers globally have of financial firms, despite bank workers in the State having seen improvements in the culture of their organisations in recent years, according to the findings of two surveys. The Irish Banking Culture Board (IBCB) said on Monday that the Irish banking sector received a net score of minus 28 in a public survey carried out earlier this year by consultancy firm Edelman. This compares to a global average of plus 16 for banks globally under Edelmanâs so-called trust barometer. The survey found Irish consumers had a more positive view of their own bank than the wider industry.
