Ulster Bank

Ah Ulster Bank how I loathe many of the practices you still operate and the nonsense in general that this little bank works on.
The rant is simplified as a less than successful partnership with another branch of Ulster Bank in north Antrim. Horrible customer service, epic waiting times for cheques (many of the larger UK banks operate faster payments etc) and practices that seem to flout many of the tighter and tighter FSA regulations and standards.
This branch however I’ve had zero run ins with. I’m not longer with the bank anymore but I’ve used this branch for several transactions. One of the biggest advantages is inside is a handy Euro cashpoint for those last minute trips down to Dublin.

This bank is I bank with and I split my time between this branch and the Diamond, Rathcoole branch of the company. In neither location can I say I have been let down with either their customer service, quality value or ease of transaction. Although this branch can get busy around lunch times when it seems like anyone and everyone needs to get some money cashed or some cheque lodged around this time, so if you bear this in mind and don’t come around then, this branch will provide you with easy access, helpful and friendly banking. I’ve banked here for a number of years and so far I’ve never been let down. Though everyone’s different so each banking choice is different so at least give this place a chance and see what it can offer you. I know from first hand experience that Ulster Bank offer some great student accounts which include overdrafts, credit cards, cheque books etc.
