Co-operation between banks - Gone?

genie

Yesterday I tried to lodge some cash into my Ulster Bank account in a branch of Bank of Ireland. I've done this many times before as there aren't very many UB branches up here. I had a slip from my UB lodgement book filled out and I thought I could use this to lodge money anywhere. I've had no problem before but today I was told by the cashier that BoI can no longer transfer money to UB. Is this true?

Hi genie,

Thanks for your post.

It is no longer possible to make over the counter lodgements to non Bank of Ireland accounts.
Apologies if you were not informed of this before travelling to the branch.
There are a number of ways to make the payment such as:

Banking 365 Online – Some branches have an internet terminal for online transfers
Banking 365 Telephone
365 Mobile App
Setting up a standing order

If you are a business customer, you can transfer via Business Online.

Thanks

Billy

Thank you for your reply but as I stated above, I am not a Bank of Ireland customer.

Hi Genie,

The above applies to Bank of Ireland customers.

Apologies for the confusion.
From your original post, it was not made clear you are not a Bank of Ireland customer.

Ulster Bank may be able to provide alternative ways to transfer to your account.

Thanks

Billy
