Ulster Bank Android App now available

MagicMarker · 23-01-2012 9:14pm #1

Just downloaded it now, I think I might be the first as it says ''0+'' downloaded. Hopefully it's legit and I haven't entered my bank details into some random app!! :pac:

I entered in my number, got activation code, entered in my login and card details and it says I'll get another text within 24 hours once it's ''verified''.

Looks really nice!
Especially compared to AIBs mobile site wrapper :rolleyes:

Yeah it is rather snazzy alright, anyone know what it's like? Does it provide all services that are available online?

Random · 23-01-2012 9:38pm

im reluctant to pop my login details into this.
can anyone find mention of it on their website?

Well, the one linked to by draffodx is from RBS, so shouldn't be a problem. Anything else I'd be wary of.

Typewriter · 23-01-2012 9:42pm

It's not on the Ulsterbank website so I think I'll stay well away from this app until I see some official endorsement.

and what verifys that its from rbs? i can setup an account and call it what i like on the market and release an app, can i not?

this sorta thing just makes me weary when i cant verify the app

All you need to hand is your Anytime Internet Banking customer number, debit card and a couple of personal details.

MagicMarker · 23-01-2012 9:45pm

It looks like it was only released today so it's not surprising it's not on the main website.

The other apps from the same developer seem legit anyway, can I make a random app and submit it to another developers page?

irishgeo · 23-01-2012 9:45pm

considering the same developer is behind all the RBS UK apps id say its legit.

There a top developer with RBS and Natwest apps already, I'd be guessing if they weren't legit they'd have been well flagged by now.

5starpool · 23-01-2012 10:14pm

I certainly know that it was near ready for release from talking to someone who works in that area, but not 100% sure that it has actually been released. I've asked him just there and he says it looks like it is the legitimate one, but he will double check tomorrow. I'd be 98% sure it's legit though.

That is the process they use for the ulster bank iphone app

MagicMarker · 24-01-2012 9:20am

Got my activation text this morning.

It's a nice app alright, but all I can do is view my balances, view a mini statement and transfer money to my savings account. As far as I can see, I can't transfer money to payees or manage/add my payee accounts. So overall I'm a little underwhelmed.

Got it myself this morning!

Nice app does the basic which i am constantly checking on the ulster bank website.

They did promise enhancements which i presume will include payment functionality etc. Time will tell!

MagicMarker · 29-01-2012 8:54pm

No, you had to create a new passcode specifically for the app, you only enter your customer number for verification purposes, once verified you use your passcode to login.

Ok, whoever I was replying to deleted their post.

Gryzor · 29-01-2012 9:33pm

App is basically a balance checker, transfer funds option is disabled??

You can transfers funds between your own accounts; i.e from your Current account to your Savings account.

The Option to transfer funds from your account any to your Payee's is not present and this would be an absolute god send if possible.

Even the ability to transfer to Payee's already set up from your account online as opposed to new Payees would be seriously useful.

Sorry about that, it was me. Thanks for replying.

Just realised I had this app on an iPod Touch one time and this was causing the issue.

Thought I'd delete post before someone replied but you were quick off the mark.

kiddums · 30-01-2012 12:07pm

Slight OT.

I have both a UK and a ROI account. I can get the ROI app no bother, but I can't get the UK one in my area.
Does anyone know how I can get this?

loyatemu · 31-01-2012 12:44am

nice app, could use more functionality but handy for checking balances. AIB need to sort their app out, it is so slow it is unusable.

lord lucan · 02-03-2012 7:55pm

Been upgrading the various versions of ARHD ICS ROM's over the last few weeks and still no sign of being able to download this app from the market. That was until today,flashed ARHD 6.4.0 and now a number of apps,including the Ulster Bank app,previously unavailable are showing for me.:)

Just waiting for the verification code now.

Coriolanus · 02-03-2012 9:33pm

Was using this fine until a few days ago when it stopped allowing me to login, saying that my device had insufficient security, and now it works again?

Vikings · 02-03-2012 11:45pm

Galaxy S2 here and been using this for the past few weeks with no problems. Great app, tempted to give it a rating in the market place ha.

Though I keep checking the damn thing expecting the numbers to get higher and they don't

deadduck · 04-03-2012 9:01pm

had been working fine the last few weeks on my gingerbread galaxy s, but flashed a custom ICS 4.0.3 today (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1398223) and it's not available to me anymore. anyone know why this happened??

Seems like they're only allowing this to be used on official ROMs. No custom ROMs as a security measure I'd imagine.

It was the same with their desktop website, beta versions of Firefox and Chrome weren't allowed for a while.

Can someone post the apk from their phone?

dulpit · 05-03-2012 11:23am

Not working on my Sensation with Virtuous Inquisition ICS. Bit annoying that they won't allow non-official ROMS to work with the app...

the whole year inn · 05-03-2012 1:53pm

Working on mine just fine,on cyanmoidmod7

Random · 07-03-2012 10:04pm

still annoyed they havent added the option to transfer to payees! as someone said above, still only letting me transfer between my ub accounts.

blackius · 08-03-2012 12:11am

can you view and pay your ulster bank mastercard with this?
Does it give an available funds balance on credit card accounts? ie show if theres a transaction pending by reducing the funds available by that amount?

In short,how up to date does it update?

deadduck · 13-03-2012 5:07pm

anyone find a way to load this onto a custom rom?? or know why it doesn't work on certain custom roms??

johnny_adidas · 13-03-2012 5:38pm

working fine on Insertcoin on desire

It may be due to it registering the device, which when flashed may change its identity slightly. I remember I wasnt able to log in to the website through the browser from mobile network but wifi worked perfectly. Seemed pretty stupid to me at the time so this may be another glitch/feature in the security

Gryzor · 13-03-2012 5:40pm

Maybe it's ICS it doesn't work on??

Scratch that, I was using Extreme Sensation ICS upto yesterday, and it didn't work on that.

Switched to Android Revolution HD yesterday, tried the install just now, and it works...

Riesen_Meal · 13-03-2012 10:41pm

I change Roms like I do Boxers and this app only seems to run in certain ones, tis a weird one.... It's not supposed to run on rooted Roms but it does on some that I have used...

lord lucan · 13-03-2012 11:10pm

I'm on ARHD 6.5.0 and it's the first ARHD ROM that it's worked on. That release is based on the official release that HTC are sending out to Elevate test members which may have something to do with it.

lord lucan · 03-04-2012 5:31pm

There's an update in the Market for this. Just downloaded it and it now lets you make payments and transfers from your a/c once you have them set up on Anytime.

+1 could someone upload the apk and post a link? Would be much appreciated. Store saying it's not compatible with my phone.

groom · 25-05-2012 2:17pm

Had missed this completely up to now. I find it strange that when you registering they look for your entire debit card number and security code. Why not just the last 4 or 8 digits. Comes across a bit phishy

Hope it's not against the rules. It is a free app.

And just in case people are nervous of downloading (especially a bank app) I directly downloaded the app from the market using a very handy extension for chrome.

Given the last couple weeks they've had, I'm sure the app has been the last thing on their mind.

Hope they keep it updated, I find it very useful and use it daily.
