Ulster bank service card

Seanachai

Hi, I'm with Ulster bank and I'm just wondering is it just me and the way I'm using the atm card or are they made from really crappy plastic?. I've been through about three in the past two years and I have a friend who banks with PTSB and his card just seems to be a lot more robust. First the plastic starts peeling off of the UB cards and then they start to warp and crack, it's annoying.

They are the most durable cards. Tested by hippos, Unless .....


OP are you clumsier than a hippo using an ATM?

The plastic coating seems to peel off mine fairly easily too. I do use it more often than other cards though, so might not be a fair comparison.

Cheers, do you use the 'service card' I'm trying to see if another type of debit card will be higher quality.

Just you OP. My Ulster bank cards are still perfect by the time they are out of date. What are you doing to them!?

Taking them in and out of a wallet and using them in atm machines. I'd nearly switch to PTSB just for the stronger card if I didn't have a loan with UB. There would prob need to be thousands complaining to UB for them to change it anyway.

Ya, standard servicecard. I got a new one in October, and it's still fine, no peeling, but the other one has peeling around a lot of the edge, but no cracks/splits though. I keep mine in a wallet in a front pocket so it doesn't get unduly bent or abused at all. It's the only card I really use in an ATM/in shops, etc so that's about the only use it'd get apart from taking it out to get the number for the odd online purchase.

Strange, I'm not going around crushing kittens with my ogre hands or anything, I'll have to order a new one anyway before it gets swallowed just when I really need it.

Could be a reaction to chemicals/powders etc
