Ulster Bank has issued an apology to customers after some technical issues with their online and mobile banking services this morning.

A number of customers had taken to social media on Friday morning to voice their concern after being unable to access their bank accounts online.

But a spokesperson for the company said that the issues have “now been resolved”.

The statement continued:

“We would like to apologise to customers who experienced issues logging into their online and mobile banking accounts this morning, this issue has now been resolved.”

A spokesperson told RTE that “no customer will be left out of pocket as a result of this”.

It is the latest technical issue to hit the bank in recent months.

In April, the bank launched an “urgent investigation” after some customers found that funds – including salaries – had disappeared from their current accounts.

This left many without the funds to pay for impending direct debits or with their accounts in the negatives.

Social media users said a the time that they had also had their credit and debit cards declined while making purchases.

Ulster Bank offered customers who were affected up to €500 in emergency cash and said that the issue was due to a “human error”.
