How to use the Ulster Bank app

1. Log in to the Ulster Bank mobile app.
2. On the app homepage you'll see an overview of your accounts, including your current balances.
3. Tap on the account you wish to view and then the 'i' symbol next to your balance to see your 'account balance'. This is the amount you have before any pending transactions are processed. 

If you have made a payment before via Anytime Banking or the app, the payee details are automatically saved so making a payment to that company or person again takes only 30 seconds. Payment limits apply.

1. Log in to the Ulster Bank mobile app.
2. Select the 'Payments' icon at the bottom of the screen.
3. Select the account you wish to make the payment from.
4. Tap 'Send money', 'Make a payment', then choose who you want to pay from your payee list.
5. Choose the amount you wish to send, add a reference for the payment, a payee nickname (optional), and choose the date you want to send the money on: now or in the future. Then follow 'Continue' to review payment details.
6. Check and confirm the payment details are correct and then select 'Make payment'.
7. That's your payment complete! If you need a record of this payment, simply tap 'View receipt'.

If you want to change the existing reference, a daily limit of £1,000 will be applied and you may be asked to authorise the payment using your app's log in details. You can make payments of up to £20,000.00 a day to anyone from your list of payees, if you have their details saved within Anytime Banking. 

Move money between your Ulster Bank accounts in 20 seconds. It could be from your current account to your savings, or you might want to move some money to your credit card. 

1. Log in to the mobile app.
2. Choose the account you would like to make a transfer from and tap 'Make a transfer'.
3. Choose the account you wish to make a transfer to, the amount you wish to transfer and click 'Continue'. You can set up a transfer to leave your account up to 120 days (four months) in the future.

4. Confirm payment on confirmation screen and select 'Make transfer'.

It's easy to pay someone new. You'll need:

• Their account number and sort code.
• Their account type (Personal or Business).
• The first and last name of the person you are looking to pay, or the full company trading name of the business you are looking to pay.  

Step-by-step guide:

Where a Confirmation of Payee check is performed, you will receive a response to let you know if the name you've entered matches the details for the account. If the response from the payee's bank is 'close match, no match, or unable/ unavailable' we will give you advice on what to do next.
