Best bank 2025: Bank of Ireland

Bank of Ireland demonstrated impressive growth figures driven by a dynamic digital transformation and a clear commitment to sustainability. 

Profit before tax rose to €1.9 billion and adjusted return on tangible equity hit 16.8% – comfortably above its 15% target. A tight cost-to-income ratio of 46% and 310 basis points of organic capital generation left the bank distributing €1.2 billion to shareholders, equivalent to 14% of its year-end market value, underscoring both earnings quality and balance sheet resilience.
