IIB Bank has officially renamed and rebranded its operations in Ireland to KBC Bank Ireland plc.
KBC Bank Ireland, which is 100% owned by Belgian parent KBC Bank NV, says the move will strengthen the group's position in Ireland and allow it to further leverage off KBC Group's global reach.
KBC Bank employs 700 people in Ireland. It was formed in 1973.
KBC Bank Ireland provides a broad range of personal banking services including homeloans, wealth management, pensions and deposit accounts.
It also provides business banking services including business finance, corporate finance and commercial services.
KBC's mortgage division, previously known as IIB Homeloans, will now be called KBC Homeloans.
Guido Segers, KBC Bank Ireland Chairman, said, 'The branding move is recognition of KBC Group's confidence in its operations here, in the Irish economy and in the resilience of Irish business.'
