News - Irish Life Corporate Business

Posted on April 11, 2023

Irish Life has seen a huge jump in its defined benefit buy-in business, a market that has now topped a billion euro per annum on the back of high interest rates.

Posted on March 21, 2023
Please note that our Ulster Bank accounts are now due to close. It is important to understand that Irish Life may not have any visibility of or receive notification of any payment made to our Ulster Bank accounts after 5th May 2023. Therefore, it is important to be mindful of regulatory requirements and employer responsibility around the remittance of monthly pension contributions and to ensure all payments are made to the correct Irish Life account with AIB.

 

As you may know, both Ulster Bank and KBC are exiting the Irish market. Irish Life currently bank with Ulster Bank but will be changing providers and banking with AIB going forward.

 

You might have received a communication from Irish Life noting that our new AIB bank accounts are now open and that if you make payments to Irish Life such as monthly pension contributions or risk premiums, these should now be made to our new AIB accounts.

 

Below you will see the Ulster Bank accounts currently in use and the corresponding new AIB account that will be replacing the existing bank account. It is important to check the Ulster Bank account that you currently make payments to and update these details to the corresponding AIB account for future payments.

Irish Life launched the innovative enhanced annuity a number of years ago. However, customer take up has been very low and following a review of alternative customer outcomes, we plan to cease offering our enhanced annuity product to new customers from the end of 2022. This decision is largely driven by the low level of take-up and the challenges of keeping this complex product operational while sales volumes remain at this low level.
