On 12 August 2020, Ireland's Data Protection Commission (DPC) announced the start of an investigation into the Bank of Ireland (BOI) over alleged data breach concerns when using their Banking365 application. The investigation is intended to establish whether the BOI ignored its responsibilities and whether any articles of the Data Protection Act 2018 and/or the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) were violated in connection to a number of personal data breaches. Specifically, the DPC will assess to what extent the BOI complied with the principles of integrity and confidentiality of the GDPR.
