Bank of Ireland is seeking to expand its digital and anti-fraud offerings with the addition of 100 new technology jobs.
The bank is looking to fill roles across data, delivery management, engineering, resilience and cyber, with particular focus on hiring talent with experience in cloud, open banking, APIs and AI.
The move comes as BOI saw an 18% increase year-on-year in its active digital users. The bank said that it has made over 60 tweaks to its mobile app, including biometrics and fraud monitoring.
It has also continued the digitisation of its wealth and insurance sector, launching a new customer portal.
Ciarán Coyle, COO of Bank of Ireland Group, said the group continues to “invest in our talent, technology and infrastructure” in order to give its customers the “very best banking service”.
“We’re currently progressing a range of innovative digital projects across the Group and we want to recruit talented specialists who can enhance the banking experience for our customers,” he said.
“Bank of Ireland offers an exciting and dynamic environment for career development. In addition to exciting projects, we provide a supportive environment with inclusive workplace policies, flexible remote work options through a network of hubs, and competitive pay and benefits.
“We are looking for the very best talent to join our technology team as we continue to deliver improvements for customers and colleagues across the organisation.”
Earlier this year, BOI launched a €60m ATM and branch improvement campaign, which the group said was its largest investment in ATMs in the past decade.
However, it is facing stiff competition from digital banks such as Revolut, which offers a digital-first option for Irish banking consumers. Recently, the London-headquartered digital upstart started offering its own loyalty points scheme, while its attractive savings deposit rate may have prompted BOI to improve its offering.
