Ulster Bank Hit By Another Technical Glitch

Ulster Bank customers were left unable to access mobile banking following another technical problem.

In a statement the bank, which is part of the RBS Group, said: "The service is back up and running for our customers who use Android, Blackberry and Windows apps.

"We are working hard to get the other apps back and will let you know as soon as they are ready to use."

At the beginning of the month, Ulster Bank apologised to customers who had problems using bank cards.

Last year, the bank also caused major disruptions to its customers due to computer faults.
