New protocol for SME's with debt difficulties
The Irish Banking Federation (IBF) has launched a new protocol on multi-banked SME debt. The move is designed to allow an SME in financial difficulty and with debt across a number of financial institutions to communicate with the member banks on a collective basis. This in turn allows those banks to discuss and consider the case with a view to seeking resolution. The protocol is operational from 6th January 2014 and will apply to SMEs with debts of between €250,000 and €10m.
The following categories of debt are covered:
· Direct SME Debt comprises debt advanced directly to the SME business by member banks to finance the SME business.
· Indirect SME Debt comprises debt advanced indirectly to the SME business by member banks, which finances any asset (including premises) which is essential to the functioning of the SME business. Such debt is most likely to be in the name of a party other than the SME.
· SME Related Debt comprises debt other than Direct or Indirect SME Debt which depends primarily for its repayment on the viability and cash flow of the SME business
ACCBank, AIB, Bank of Ireland, Danske Bank, KBC Bank Ireland, Permanent TSB and Ulster Bank have all signed up to the framework.
Commenting on the launch of the protocol, Waterford Chamber CEO Nick Donnelly stated, “It is welcomed that the IBF and their member banks have recognised the importance of working in this way with SMEs in order to manage their debt issues, particularly where these debts are shared across various institutions. Hopefully the protocol will deliver timely resolutions for those SMEs that engage with the process and that the IBF will commit to the review criteria as indicated in their launch this week.”
