Transfer Order FAQs

Q1. What has been announced?

On 1 July 2011, under powers granted by the Credit Institutions (Stabilisation) Act 2010, the Irish High Court made a Transfer Order, following a proposal from the Minister for Finance in consultation with the Central Bank of Ireland, under which all of the assets and liabilities of Irish Nationwide Building Society (‘INBS’) transferred with immediate effect to Anglo Irish Bank Corporation Limited (‘Anglo’). Former INBS business units will now operate as part of a standalone division within Anglo.

It was also announced that Anglo intends to change its name to Irish Bank Resolution Corporation Limited (‘IBRC’). It is also proposed that a number of the Bank’s subsidiaries’ names will change. There are a number of legal formalities and operational requirements that have to be satisfied before the re-naming process is finalised, at which time the Bank will issue a public announcement to this effect. The Bank will also update its website with developments.
