Bank of Ireland unveils New York services for business banking customers

Bank of Ireland CEO Francesca McDonagh and Roderic O’Gorman, Minister for Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth, have unveiled a new service for the Bank’s business customers – the Bank of Ireland NYC Hub.

NYC Hub, located in the Bank’s offices at 2 Grand Central Tower in Manhattan, is a flexible workspace containing seven offices, three meeting rooms, a conference room and 20 hot desks which can be booked on a group or individual basis. NYC Hub can also be used as an event space accommodating up to 120.

Bank of Ireland business banking customers looking to expand into the United States can use NYC Hub for meetings with potential customers and investors when in New York. The space is also available to Bank of Ireland customers with established US operations. 2 Grand Central Tower was previously only available to start-up and scale-up companies but will now be open to Bank of Ireland’s extensive business customer base.

Bank of Ireland Group CEO Francesca McDonagh said:

“As we move beyond the last two years, we know that some businesses are again considering expansion plans including into the United States. The Bank of Ireland NYC Hub – right in the heart of Manhattan – will support our Irish business banking clients with a place to work, or meet customers, suppliers, and investors.

“NYC Hub speaks to where we see ourselves as a bank – strongly supporting our customers to achieve their ambitions, and maintaining our place at the heart of the Irish American business community.”

Irish companies have a proud record of success in the United States, with Ireland ranked as the ninth highest source of FDI investment into America. More than 900 Irish companies, operating across all 50 states, currently employ over 110,000 people in the country.
