“Can a mid-tier Irish retail bank grow its business banking revenue by embedding specialist third-party financial services (acquiring, invoice finance, asset finance) while leveraging its PSD2 open banking infrastructure as a platform?”
Permanent TSB p.l.c. is a regulated Irish retail and business bank headquartered in Dublin, operating as a licensed deposit-taking institution under Central Bank of Ireland oversight. The bank has progressively added embedded finance partnerships — most notably with Worldpay for merchant acquiring and Bibby Financial Services for invoice finance — to extend its product range without building all capabilities in-house. Its PSD2 Developer Portal positions it as an open banking access point for third-party providers rather than a pure consumer of embedded finance infrastructure, reflecting its dual role as both a bank and a regulated API provider.
