    Paid £1250 into Ulster on Monday 4th March but still no payout.

    I got the NatWest and RBS within 24 - 36 hours of meeting the conditions, so am thinking that Ulster may have realised that I have had previous payments and are not going to pay out.

    Or are they just slow?
    I was wondering this.  I had a switch bonus in 2022 from RBS but never from Natwest so tried a switch to Natwest which completed on 6th March.  Money been in for over 24 hours so hoping to receive the switch bonus today or am wondering if they have twigged.
    If they have they may need to prepare for a few complaints, ok we're all trying it on but it has to be either pay none or pay all. Can't simply move the goalposts when you realise you've made a booboo.

    My RBS switch was done on 6th, £1250 paid in 10:03 that day, removed around 11 on the 7th - will wait until Monday and then bounce £1250 in again for a day and see if that triggers it if they don't pay it by then. 
    I would expect you to receive the bonus either today, probably between 3.00 and 4.00 or Monday, based on the patterns shown so far. But it can take up to 7 days. No need to bounce the £1,250 in again, that won't make any difference.

    It's just in case it didn't register, I think it had 25 hours maybe and was after switch completed, I can wait until Monday as it's not urgent. I had a look at switch history and I think I am all used up now depending on what criteria HSBC use for their next switch cutoff date but plenty of money earned thanks to this site 

    Sam Vimes' Boots Theory of Socioeconomic Unfairness: 

    People are rich because they spend less money. A poor man buys $10 boots that last a season or two before he's walking in wet shoes and has to buy another pair. A rich man buys $50 boots that are made better and give him 10 years of dry feet. The poor man has spent $100 over those 10 years and still has wet feet.

    As it was after switch completed when you put in your £1,250, it was the 7th when you satisfied the offer so that's why I say it could be Monday based on patterns so far. But if they go by your switch date I think it could arrive this afternoon. Patience Padawan.  ;)

    They are a little slower than NW/RBS but will have no clue you've been paid by the either of the others.

    My wife's Co-op to RBS switch happened on the 5th, also completion text received and £1250 paid in that afternoon. £200 switch bonus received after midday today, the 8th. All monies moved out now into interest bearing accounts, bar a nominal balance.

    I've just tried to open an Ulster Bank account, but am stuck at a question about which is my nearest branch's sort code?  I can't find any branches even in the UK!  I've not seen this particular problem mentioned before, so where am I going wrong on the application?

    You need to use the Belfast branch postcode.

    I also just submitted by Ulster application (Was accepted for Natwest and Rejected by RBS - on the same day). Was asked for branch, so chose one in Belfast.

    Also, I haven't received any email or text from Ulster after submission and wasn't sent to HooYu service for ID verification, was it the same for others?
