Ulster Bank

As I am from Northern Ireland but now live on the mainland UK, many people think it is strange that I use a bank which has no branches in England. I changed over from another Uk Building society after I had a few problems with them changing my overdraft and not telling me etc. Although I did not need the overdraft, it was the princpale of the thing more than anything that had be searching around for a better service. I spoke to my Dad who has been an Ulster Bank cutomer for years and suggested that I contact them. While I was in Northern Ireland I called into the Portadown Branch, having perviously spoke to another few banks who were unwilling to ...  Read the complete review

As a small business, a good relationship and good communication with my bank is something that is an absolute must. We chose to open the business account with the Ulster Bank as both myself and my husband are Ulster Bank current account holders and they did offer us a good package for the first year to help get the business up and running.

The account has met all my needs, I have a cash card/debit card, a cheque book and the option of an interest-free overdraft if required, which increases every year. I was also offered a credit card with the ...  Read the complete review

i realise that this review may be a little bit outdated, considering the fact that project gotham is already part of the xbox classics range and project gotham 2 is already in the shops. however, i only purchased the game recently and was very impressed. in the game, you can race in 4 different cities - new york, san francisco, london and tokyo. you start off with just a few cars and chances are you won't rest until you have unlocked the final car - the ferocious ferrari f50. graphics visually, project gotham is amazing. one of my favourite parts of the game was watching the replays of my races from outside the car. seeing a replay of your ferrari ...  Read the complete review
