Paying Ulster Bank CC online?

Xaero_2

Hi,

Got my first statement from ulster bank, I only want to pay mimimum payment, but I can't see an area on the ulster bank website how to pay it?

I don't particularly want to be writing a cheque/filling out giro every month to send off to them and spending money on a stamp and envelope when I can do it in half the time for free online.

Does anyone else use ulster bank online? I have activated the anytime banking thing but it hasn't changed anything I've noticed (note I only have a ulster credit card not a current account).

Should I just pay it online using a current account somehow? I have a Alliance and Leicester and Halifax current account which I regularly check online so would be fine using that.

Thanks!

You can't pay this card on the Ulster Bank website. Maybe they'll take a debit card over the phone?

If not, send the payment from your current account using:

Sort Code: 98-30-01
Account No: 27272778
Reference: the 16-digit card number

...but double check your statement first to make sure yours is the same!

Why not set up a direct debit though?

I have a Visa card from UB and my payment details are different:

Sort Code: 98-30-02
Account No : 00000000
Ref: 16 digit card number

Doesn't it tell you the account details on the back of your statement?

Bizarrely it does not tell you how to pay by BACS on the statement. I had to ring up for the details.

Looks like there are at least 3 different sort code/account number combinations then, according to this thread and a recent one over at stoozing.com...

As always, it's best to ring up and ask. Here's a freephone number...

0800 587 3580

It's the card activation number but if you hold on you're passed to customer services.

Thank you for information, I sent minimum payment today using that technique

It says sort code and account number on the giro slip on the statement they have provided me. :j hopefully it'll work.

Ulster bank do not accept debit card payments to credit card over the phone unless you have their Ulster current account,

I tried last night to pay my credit card over the phone and was told no because I didnt have their current account................

paying through your own online banking system will take 3-4 days although I think some banks ie barclays are doing faster payments so they may be quicker.
