Summary
Bank of Ireland has announced it will offer gambling blocking facilities to customers who want them, the Gambling Regulatory Authority of Ireland said. The bank joins AIB, EBS and Revolut in providing the measure, which GRAI described as a consumer protection tool. GRAI said it has engaged with the Irish Banking Culture Board, the Irish Banking and Payments Federation and individual banks to encourage uptake.
Why it matters
Bank-level blocking gives operators another exclusion channel to account for in consumer protection.
