First Trust Bank have announced that they have selected Northern Ireland’s leading older people’s charity, Age NI as their new charity partner. The bank, who have 15 branches across the country, will support the charity as part of a two year partnership.



As part of the partnership, Age NI will be working closely with First Trust Bank to:
Launch a digital ambassador programme, which will proactively encourage and support older customers to embrace digital banking.
Support financial education, which will include initiatives to help customers improve their finances and capabilities.
Enhance community engagement – Age NI demonstration days are planned and will be held in different branch locations.
First Trust Bank staff will also be participating in fundraising activities and money raised will enable Age NI to provide a range of support, including advice, care and well-being services to older people, to help them stay independent and connected in later life.
Kevin Nealon, Head of Retail, First Trust Bank said:
“We are really pleased to announce this partnership with Age NI. We are excited about the plans that are in place, that will not only have a positive impact on our customers and the community across Northern Ireland, but will also raise vital funds for this admirable charity. This partnership will help embed our purpose which is to back our customers to achieve their dreams and ambitions.”
Linda Robinson, Chief Executive, Age NI added:
“We are absolutely delighted that First Trust Bank have selected Age NI as their new charity partner, and are really looking forward to working alongside staff over the next two years.
“It’s absolutely fantastic to see how enthusiastic and passionate staff are about supporting older people across Northern Ireland, and we have no doubt that First Trust Bank’s customers will be as equally supportive.

“There are lots of exciting initiatives planned over the two year partnership, so keep an eye in your local First Trust Bank to see how you can get involved.”
