Relationship Banking within the Irish SME sector and its Implication
Aoife Hanley and Sheila O’Donohoe
Abstract: Relationship banking involves the provision of financial
services by an intermediary that a) invests in obtaining customer-specific
information, often proprietary in nature; and b) evaluates the
profitability of these investments through multiple interactions with the
same customer over time and/or across products (Boot, 2000). We assess the
presence and impact of relationship banking from an Irish SME
perspective.We trace how significant patterns can be seen across several
dimensions of the lender/business relationship using data for the year
2005. These dimensions include the duration of lender/business
relationships and the cost of finance
