It is difficult to clearly demarcate which banks participate in international financial services activity based solely on location in the International Financial Services Centre. Fifteen banking licences were revoked by the Central Bank since 2010. These are set out below. All of the revocations were at the request of the banks. The rationale for the revocation is a commercial decision for each of banks involved. The seven banks marked with an asterisk had their head office address in the IFSC.
