New mortgage data which was this week published by the Banking & Payments Federation Ireland (BPFI) shows that AIB Group continues to be the Ireland’s largest provider of mortgages in 2015.

The BPFI figures published show that the mortgage market was valued at almost €4.9bn in 2015, an increase of 26% on 2014 values.

AIB performed strongly in all mortgage categories, financing over a third of all mortgages in Ireland and 4 in 10 of First Time Buyer home purchases.

Head of the AIB Group Mortgage Business, Ken Burke said, “AIB’s strong performance shows consumers are choosing real long-term value represented by low rates and market-leading customer service and support.

“This latest data from BPFI shows that the market is continuing to recover”

“This latest data from BPFI shows that the market is continuing to recover, and we are confident that further growth will be evident in 2016. As the largest mortgage provider in Ireland, AIB will continue to support the recovery of the residential property market.”
