If your complaint relates to a product or service purchased online, you can contact the European Commission using their Online Dispute Resolution (ODR) platform. The ODR platform, primarily aimed at European Union (EU) cross-border disputes, is designed to help consumers resident in the EU get access to dispute resolution if they remain unhappy with the response they have received from a trader established in the EU. To use the ODR platform http://ec.europa.eu/odr you will need the following information: ComplaintsRI@ulsterbank.com. Please note that under current rules the European Commission will ultimately redirect your complaint to the Financial Services and Pensions Ombudsman (FSPO), therefore you may prefer to contact us or the FSO directly in the first instance regarding your complaint.
