The AIB Build A Bank Challenge

Teams Collaborate, Ideas Come To Life, Victory Awaits

Welcome to the AIB Build A Bank Challenge a popular long running schools programme now in its 18th year. The programme challenges a team of six students to build a bank, but they’ll get so much more out of it than that! The AIB Build A Bank Challenge offers students in Transition Year & Fifth Year an opportunity to showcase their creativity, innovation and entrepreneurship. Students will also get the chance to give back to their school and community and learn new skills that will stand to them for life. Not only will they be introduced to the world of banking and business, but they will also get to bank some great prizes along the way!

All competing students will be invited to the AIB Build A Bank National Final where they will experience an amazing day out, meet other school bank teams, receive proper and professional feedback on their hard work and ultimately be in with the chance of being crowned Build A Bank Champions and win €5,000 for their school.
