UB seem to have been working on their on-line banking interface last night and appear to have broken it.

When I go to [broken link removed]

and click on [broken link removed]

it takes me back to the referring page instead of going to the login screen. It happens even if
I click on [broken link removed] within this post.

When I try it on a Mac/Safari it starts forking off multiple copies of the login screen which I have to frantically close before they can fork another copy.

When I login through one of these screens my scheduled 3rd party transfers have dissappeared.

Update: They seem to have fixed it for the Mac/Safari now but it's still broken for XP/IE and XP/Firefox

Update 2: My scheduled transfers reappeared but one of them is now uncancelable.
The handling of pending transactions seems to be back to the previous level of service.
The multiple forking login screen problem with Mac/Safari still seems to be there. It isn't consistent.

Re: Ulster Bank www.ulsterbankanytimebanking.ie down?

Is this Genuine? firstactiveonline has a similar message, First Active is a subsidary of RBS as is UB.

When I rang the number shown. I was asked to supply all my login details.

When I rang my branch to check if this was a scam, they knew nothing of any change to the online banking. They gave me a on line banking help desk number which was different from the one on the web site.
 
Re: Ulster Bank www.ulsterbankanytimebanking.ie down?

AFAIK it is genuine. UB have been promising improvements for ages.
Hopefully they'll sort the teething problems quickly. They will ask for
verification details (like mother's maiden name) when you ring them, they'll
never ask you for PINs or passwords though.

One of the new features is a list of all the direct debits on the account.
A fraud site wouldn't have that with accurate info.

The IP details look ok too.

Re: Ulster Bank www.ulsterbankanytimebanking.ie down?

I was able to get in this moringing and have noticed a vast improvement even since before the weekend.

Re: Ulster Bank www.ulsterbankanytimebanking.ie down?

I know that last week the some of the branch network has changed to RBS systems...
 
Re: Ulster Bank www.ulsterbankanytimebanking.ie down?

i find the new system a bit complicated. i prefer the old system. i also had an error on my account yesterday. it annoyed me.
 
Re: Ulster Bank www.ulsterbankanytimebanking.ie down?

Hi Alex,

When you say you prefer the old system do you mean the very old system (before the summer) or the old system (July to October)?

aj
 
Re: Ulster Bank www.ulsterbankanytimebanking.ie down?

i guess you could say both. the new one is cluttered and the error has really put me off. i suppose i'll get use to it in time.
 
Re: Ulster Bank www.ulsterbankanytimebanking.ie down?

I don't like it either tbh - find it hard to navigate around it.
 
Re: Ulster Bank www.ulsterbankanytimebanking.ie down?

In some respects it's improved, in particular the direct debit and standing order sections but there's also been a major step backwards IMO.

The old system used to show pending transactions, the new one doesn't. I used to be able to lodge
a cheque in my branch and go straight home and see it.

I also saw something strange. I spent €14 in tesco on my debit card and it came off my available balance for a few hours but now my balance is back up to where it was before! If the balance figure isn't
accurate its going to make managing spending more tricky. I want the data displayed as soon as its
in a computer not stuck in some periodic batch process.
 
Re: Ulster Bank www.ulsterbankanytimebanking.ie down?

I see the UFIrst charge is coming up on my account as - account overdrawn charge. Hmm.

Not before time, you can now view your UB Credit Card Statements on line.

Pending transactions are now shown highligted in blue. HTH.
 
Re: Ulster Bank www.ulsterbankanytimebanking.ie down?

Do not like the "new look" on line service at all...not very easy to follow

Scheduled a payment to pay off my UB credit card last week for €900

During the upgrade this payment was lost and now I've been charged interest for not paying on time.

am now awaiting UB to refund me the interest amount....
 
Re: Ulster Bank www.ulsterbankanytimebanking.ie down?

I don't like the layout of the new Anytime website. Apparantly Ulster Bank and First Active have changed all their systems to that of their parent company, RBS. The staff don't seem comfortable with and indeed barely know how to use the new systems! I've been to three different UB branches over the last two weeks and I've been getting very vague answers. I've been banking with Ulster Bank with more than ten years and they've made more mistakes on my account in the last two weeks than the previous ten years put together! I'm hoping this is a teething period, but it frustrates me that we customers are the ones to suffer!
