Our Mobile App now comes with Spending.
Spending is a feature that automatically places your personal account transactions into categories, so you can get a detailed picture of where you money goes every month.
You must be aged 16+ and hold a personal current account to see the Spending tab in your Mobile App. Spending is only available for current and saving accounts. App available to customers with Anytime Banking using compatible iOS and Android devices and a Republic of Ireland or international mobile number in specific countries.
With Spending, your transactions will be automatically put into one of our twelve categories, to show a clearer picture of how you spend your money.
To make Spending suit you even more, you can manually change the category of any transaction once it’s fully cleared to your account.
When setting up Spending, you’ll be asked to choose your ‘first day’ of each month so the app knows when to move to the next cycle.
This can be any date you like. For example, you may wish to choose your payday so you can assess the entire timeframe between getting your salary.
You can adjust this date after setup too, just visit the Settings section at the top right corner of your app.
You could spend less and save more by setting yourself a monthly budget. This new feature lets you add a budget to your Spending categories within our app, so you are in control of what you spend and where.
Spending comes with the same modern security features present in the rest of our app. You can choose from fingerprint, facial recognition or a 6-digit passcode to protect your app.
For peace of mind, your data will never be stored on your phone. And when you log out, no trace of your account will stay on your device.
Fingerprint and facial recognition are available on selected devices.
If you don't already have our Mobile App, you'll need to download it to get started.
1. Log in to your Ulster Bank Mobile Banking app and tap Spending from the options along the bottom of the screen.
2. Select which of your Ulster Bank personal current accounts you'd like to include in your Spending view and choose the date you'd like your month to start, for example your payday.
3. Set up your categories for the transactions shown on screen.
Congratulations, you will now be set up for Spending in your Mobile App.
