44 AIB Regional Branches Close

44 town and village branches of AIB will close across the country today.

The closures are part of a major rationalisation of branches within the group, which will see the loss of 67 branches by next year.

AIB said the move to close and amalgamate branches and sub offices across the country follows a detailed review of its banking services, adding that is was regrettable but necessary to help AIB return to viability.

Many services are moving to branches in other towns and cities, and AIB said that some of its cash-lodgement services will be provided by local post offices.

AIB said it is also providing a mobile banking service on particular days of the week for some of the towns and villages affected.
