AIB has announced that it is to sponsor the DCU Brexit Institute after striking a three-year deal.

The bank, which joins Arthur Cox as an official sponsor of the institute, said the partnership would bring “valuable insights” to AIB.

"We will continue to back our corporate and business customers, sharing with them key findings and advice to prepare them for various Brexit eventualities," said Mary Whitelaw of AIB Customer Treasury Services.

The DCU Brexit Institute was formed on June 23rd 2017, a year after the referendum in which the UK voted to leave the EU. It comprises experts from a number of DCU’s faculties and schools.
