Fool question on the Ulster Ltd Ed Saver.  If you don't have an app and want to operate it online only then it looks like you need a card reader for withdrawals.  But is there actually a card issued for this account for the card reader to read?  The web page says No card issued at the moment but of course I have only just opened the account and did not have another account with Ulster (or NatWest for that matter).

They do a Service Card which works in all the Natwest / Nationwide etc type card readers. Sorry, don’t know how to get one of those- best if you ask them directly as only they can issue one of these

Thanks.  I will ask

And @SeriousHoax Thanks for the phone number.

Ulster account opened in app. Existing current account holder. Very easy process. Many thanks to the OP.

In the same position, couldn't spot how to order a card reader, so asked Cora. The response shows the card reader order page is off 'Security' tab, also stated that if you didn't have a card currently, then ordering a card reader would get you a reader, a card and a pin. Should all be with you in 10 days.

Yes I probably complicated things by asking if a Nationwide Card Reader would work and when I was told it would I then asked if I could order the card separately only to be told I would need to use the app or visit a branch to do that.

I think I will just order the card reader.

Just put over 5k in mine and interest rate showing as 1.05%. Presume it will sort itself out on Monday maybe?

Yes, online banking also states it updates on business days only:
This is based on your balance from end of last business day

Ulster Bank Limited Saver Account interest. I have been talking to Cora. Had to ask the question 3 times to get someone to answer re bonus interest. This is their final reply:

No, Malcom. You only lose the bonus interest rate for the days you are below the £5000 requirement, as interest is calculated daily.

Just out of interest I asked for a new anytime banking card to which the agent replied 'I'll stop your debit card immediately and send a new one'. Which planet are these people on?
