Newry branch of Bank of Ireland to get ATM upgrade

Starting later this year, a new fleet of state-of-the-art ATMs will be rolled out to all Bank of Ireland branches between now and 2027.

The upgrade, which will comprise of 40 ATMs, will slash energy usage by more than half, while providing greater cash processing capacity which maximises ATM availability.

Customers will also be able to use the ATMs for both withdrawals and lodgements.

It will mean an upgrade to the ATMs in the Newry branch as well as Armagh, Bangor, Belfast Andersonstown, Belfast City Branch (Donegall Square South), Cookstown, Coleraine, Derry/Londonderry (Culmore Road), Enniskillen, Glengormley, Lurgan, and Omagh.

The investment comes as the Bank recently marked the completion of its branch refurbishment programme, which saw £7 million invested in new technology services and upgrades to its customer and colleague areas across its 13 branches in Northern Ireland.

Commenting on the investment, Gail Goldie, CEO, Bank of Ireland UK said: “We are continually investing in our services, to make them better for customers and so that we can support their financial wellbeing.
