Bank of Ireland has announced the recruitment of 100 technology professionals to further accelerate the delivery of its ambitious digital agenda.
This announcement follows the recruitment of 130 similar tech roles in 2021, as part of its continued investment in digital banking.
Bank of Ireland said the new recruits – which include technical architects, software developers, engineers, specialised project managers, scrum masters and data analysts – will join the bank’s in-house tech teams.
“Banking is changing fast. Last year alone, our mobile app log-ins grew 63% compared with 2020. We processed 244m contactless transactions, up 43%. And 94% of our everyday product applications are now digitised”
This recruitment drive will support the ongoing enhancement of digital services for customers across personal, business and corporate banking, and the Bank’s wealth and insurance business.

“We are delighted to announce the recruitment of these technology positions, which are critical in terms of how we serve our customers today and develop our business into the future,” Harty said.
