The survey offers a snapshot of how young people across Ireland are feeling about finances, success and their wellbeing. The link between financial control and mental health is clear, with 70% saying that they feel better when their finances are in check.
Early money guidance at home and school important
A nationwide Financial Literacy Score Index, commissioned by Bank of Ireland and conducted by Red C, suggests that early guidance on money at home and in school may contribute to stronger financial confidence in adulthood. While only a quarter of adults recall learning about money in school or college, the findings indicate that those who did are more likely to be financially managing or thriving today.
Ireland’s average financial literacy score is 54% – with just over half of questions answered correctly – according to the survey.

AI prevents €9.7 million in potential customer losses
We used AI technology to assess one billion card transactions for fraud in 2025, preventing €9.7million in potential customer losses.
As part of our focus on safeguarding customers from fraud, the Bank deploys advanced AI and machine learning to monitor and assess card transactions in real time. AI technology assesses card transactions and rapidly produces a score that flags the likelihood of the transaction being fraudulent. By utilising these scores, the system decides whether to let the transaction proceed or if it requires additional verification.
