Wow!

The chickens are really coming home to roost.


Charlie Weston reports:

Now Moody’s has looked at the latest overcharging admission at AIB Group and said it is a negative.

“Although the expense is modest, it is credit negative for AIB, particularly from a social risk perspective, as well as the additional pressure it puts on its bottom line amid low credit demand and increased loan-loss provisions in the coronavirus-induced recession.”

Credit negative indicates that the agency has noted a circumstance that might cause it to downgrade the company’s credit rating in the near future. Social risk comes from activities that affect the communities around the business.

Couldn't happen to a nicer bunch Brendan. I know no bank is an angel but AIB ranks up there with Deutsche and HSBC as the Darth Vadars of a black art. How many times since the 1980s have they been caught up to no good and downright illegality on occasion? Even their approach to tracker redress was mealy-mouthed, defensive and less than wholesome in their apologies
 
They should (but probably won't) wake up and smell the coffee and correct whatever mistakes they have made now, rather than not deal with all issues now. If they don't change their behaviour, it will leave open other avenues of redress which may lead to further budgeting issues in months to come.
 
While its great to see them get some comeuppance this can only hurt their customers right? If their credit rating is impacted it raises their cost of funds which will be ultimately born by the customers?
