KBC has agreed to sell €8.8bn in performing loans and €4.4bn in deposits to Bank of Ireland, as part of its plan to exit Ireland. But what does all that mean for customers?

After all, KBC Bank Ireland and Bank of Ireland announced in April that they were in talks about BoI potentially buying the Belgian lender’s performing loans and other assets.The agreement represents another big development in the already tumultuous Irish banking market.Customers, the banks claims, do not need to take any immediate action as a result of the announcement.

Customers' accounts will continue to operate as normal and they can continue to access all of KBC’s retail banking and insurance products through its digital channels and the hubs. The bank is promising to provide plenty of notice of the impact or change to accounts, as they are required to under regulations.

But if, for example, you are on a fixed rate or a tracker, you will retain that for the duration specified in your contract or agreement even after it moves to Bank of Ireland.KBC says that at this point there is no impact. However, sources are saying they expect it will be the third quarter of next year before all the regulatory hurdles are overcome.
