Can't access the app. I've updated the new version. So poor. I've lost my phone and bank card. Can't call the bank or access my account on line as I've no card for the card reader and can't get a text. Very disappointed and worried my card is being used as I've lost it. Keep getting service issues message on the app, not very customer friendly when you have no card or phone

One of the main reasons why I use Ulster Bank is because of the great app! It is so easy to use and you can do all your banking on it. Everything from getting money from an ATM (if you've forgotten your card), paying international and national payees, managing direct debits and cashing checks. It's a great service from the bank and one I now can't do without!

Unfortunately the app is in decline. It used to be one of the best banking apps. In many cases , it's very intuitive, effective and efficient for mobile banking. However, it looses stars as, for some reason, the developers have expanded their poor understanding of biometric data, insisting it means face or voice, my evidently non-biometric fingerprints are no longer sufficient! I for one have no intention of using my camera or microphone for security. NatWest: intent on alienating customers!
