I applied this morning, but oddly wasn't asked for any ID info (passport number etc.). I was expecting at the very least I'd get some sort of application acknowledgement email, but have heard nothing. Is that normal?Stompa0

Yes - I thought the same.
The confirmation screen was very vague too. A few days later I received an e-mail asking for me to upload my ID to their website.
Another few days later (today) I've just had an e-mail saying my account has been approved and will be opened shortly.0 -

Thanks. Hopefully they won't ask for any ID, as I don't have any!Stompa0 -
Opened online last night, received sort code and account number immediately. Made a £1 Faster Payment. Noticed today a credit on my bank account "REJECTED FASTER PAYMENT".
How soon should I be able to make a payment? Seems odd giving an account number that you cannot pay into!0 -
Wait until you can see the account online. That should happen within a working day.glider3560 wrote: »

If you haven't got an Ulster card yet, you might also want to wait until you get that, as you won't be able to make any withdrawals without a card.0 -
Ulster's Online banking has the great advantage of being like Tescos in that once you've set up a payment you can use those payment instructions from any Ulster account you have on your online banking.
Negating the need for multiple payment set ups to one destination.0 -
10 days after having ordered my card reader, I am still waiting for the card and reader. Have received a PIN though. What are others' experiences?0

I haven't received anything from them by email or post, but my account has just appeared online (2 working days). There is, however, a secure message asking me to print off and return a customer signature form.
It all seems a bit random so far.0 -
Needs an activation code (texted or mailed) if you're new or a "re-activating" customer.Wait until you can see the account online. That should happen within a working day.
