Ratings and reviews

Half decent, but overly complex UI and multiple bugs with notifications. They are trying hard, but so much still to do. Setting up on a new phone is painful, with several decisions made to make it harder for customers and possibly breaks accessibility rules (custom mini keyboard, blocking auto-fill from SMS). Very poor putting their customers last.

I was forced to upgrade. After upgrading, it asks for user details, which are too long and complex to remember, so I have them in a key app. I copied my user number but was not able to paste it. The app requires it to be typed. Every time i switch to a different app to view the number, the ulster bank app resets to the start page. This makes it impossible for me to log in . Edit. re response. incompatibility with a keysafe doesn't increase security. you have lost a customer.

bad app and bad bank.. it's getting harder to get your money out with far to restrictions claiming to be on the side of the account holder.. even denys withdrawals when you clearly have money in the account. Card is constantly asking for verification when you purchase something via Google wallet etc..

What’s new

No more writing down your account details. In account settings, you can now copy each detail one by one at the tap of a button.
