Paying money to anyone who uses the Ulster Bank ROI mobile app is simple. Open your Mobile app, click on the 'Pay your Contacts' option, enter their mobile number, the amount you want to pay and add a personal message. The person will receive the money instantly.
Some important information
Pay Your Contacts lets you send money to someone aged 16 and over with a Republic of Ireland mobile number who has an Ulster Bank Mobile Banking app. You must have available funds to send from your account (including any overdraft facility). There is a maximum payment of €250 a day, which is separate from daily withdrawal and Get Cash limits.
Your Anytime Internet Banking password is securely linked to the Mobile Banking application on your mobile device. This makes the service extremely secure. When you’re thinking up a password, please bear in mind:
- Use numbers and symbols as well as letters
- Don’t use your PIN or re-use other passwords
- Don’t use family names or birthdays as these are easy to guess
- Don’t use dictionary words – even if you use tactics such as changing ‘I’ to ‘1’ or ‘e’ to ‘3’
Finally, remember, only download mobile apps from official app stores, Don’t download apps from unknown app stores.
You’ll only need to provide your mobile phone number, Anytime Internet Banking login details - Customer Number, PIN, and Password. To access third party payments, Pay Your Contacts and Get Cash, you will need to register your mobile number in Anytime Internet Banking.
The mobile app is available to people aged 11 or over with a Republic of Ireland mobile number starting 08 and Ulster Bank Republic of Ireland personal account. Third party payments and Pay Your Contacts are only available to people aged 16 or over.
First of all, you’ll need to open an Ulster Bank current account before you can use Mobile Banking. After that, you’ll have full access to your Ulster Bank Republic of Ireland current and savings accounts, credit cards, personal loan and mortgage.
The app has in-built security to safeguard you. All data is encrypted, and your password is uniquely linked to the copy of the app that’s on your phone or tablet.
Once you’ve completed the sign-up process, which should only take a few minutes at most, you will have instant access to start using the service.
It’s free to use the service itself, but you will still have to pay for any account charges (such as unauthorised overdrafts or transaction fees on your account).
Aside from that, you will have to pay your usual mobile phone bill, and you may have to pay for Wifi access. Standard network charges apply. Please refer to your network provider for their charges.
We love Get Cash, our award-winning feature that lets you withdraw money without using your bank card. We think you will, too. It’s perfect for those times when you need small amounts of cash but don’t have your wallet or purse to hand. Get Cash is another way our Mobile app makes your everyday banking easier.
How does it work?
Get Cash couldn’t be simpler. Use the Mobile app to quickly select the amount of money you’d like to withdraw. We’ll provide you with a secure code that stays valid for three hours and can be used to withdraw the money at any Ulster Bank Republic of Ireland or EasyCash cash machine. Use the secure code yourself, or text it to someone else. You can use this service up to twice a day, but can only have one cash code at a time.
What you need to know:
Get Cash only allows a maximum withdrawal limit of €130 per day
• The amount requested must be within the daily withdrawal limit for your debit card
• There is a maximum limit of two Get Cash withdrawals a day – and only one cash code can be provided at a time
• You must have at least €10 available funds to withdraw from your account (including any overdraft facility).
The Mobile Banking app gives you access to other services that make banking easier.
