CHANGES TO OUR MOBILE BANKING TERMS – 01 APRIL 2021

We’re making the following changes to our Mobile Banking Terms:

1. We’re updating our variation clause, so that we can introduce new mobile banking features to you more quickly. The change will allow us to update the terms immediately when we launch a new feature into the App. We’ll still tell you about the updates as soon as we can and we’ll still give you 60 days’ notice if we ever need to make any other change to the terms.

2. We’ve made a small change to the terms to reflect that you can now add your savings accounts to the “Spending” feature in the App.

3. In July 2020, we changed the name of our group of companies from The Royal Bank of Scotland Group to the NatWest Group and we’re updating the terms to reflect this. Don’t worry, this change has no impact on your use of the Mobile App, any of your accounts or any of our other services and you’ll continue to be a customer of Ulster Bank.

Your updated Mobile Banking Terms

Please read the updated Mobile Banking Terms carefully. They’ll take effect on 01st April 2021 and will stay in the “Help” section of the App for future reference.

7. INSTRUCTIONS

You're responsible for all instructions given through Mobile Banking, by you or anyone acting with your authority.

8. PAYMENTS

General

8.1 Your Account Terms explain how payments into and out of your account work. The section below contains information on Pay Your Contacts, which is a payment service that is specific to Mobile Banking and therefore isn't included in your Account Terms.

8.2 When you make a payment through Mobile Banking we'll make the payment using the Faster Payments Service if possible. If we can't use the Faster Payments Service we'll advise you of alternative ways to make the payment.

Pay Your Contacts

8.3 Pay Your Contacts allows to send money to a third party from your personal account by using the payee's mobile phone number, rather than their account number and sort code.

8.4 You can use this service to make payments to anyone who has registered for Paym (which is a service offered by a number of banks and building societies to allow you to send and receive payments in this way).

8.5 To make a payment in this way, you need to give us:

• the mobile phone number of the payee. (This is the information that we use to identify the payee); and
• the amount of the payment in pounds sterling.

You're responsible for ensuring that these details are correct.

8.6 When you confirm the payee's mobile phone number and the amount of the payment this will be your payment instruction to us and the payment will be processed immediately.

8.7 If the payee is registered for Paym, we'll send the payment to the account they've registered for Paym.

8.8 Once you've asked us to make a payment you won't be able to cancel it. If you realise you've given us an incorrect mobile phone number or payment amount, you must tell us as soon as possible by calling 0345 366 7001 (or +44 2381 244 179 from outside the UK). Where possible we'll try to recover the payment, but might not be able to do so. We won't be liable to you if we're unable to recover a payment in these circumstances.

8.9 We'll notify you within the App if we're unable to make a payment.

8.10 There's a daily limit and an individual transaction limit on payments sent using Pay Your Contacts. Details of these limits are available here.

8.11 You can register for Paym in the App. You’ll need to confirm your mobile number and select an eligible account to link to your mobile number.

9. ADDING ACCOUNTS WITH OTHER BANKS

9.1 The “Accounts with other banks” function allows you to add accounts you hold with other UK banks (Account Providers), so you can view those other accounts on the App. The accounts you can add will be determined by your Account Provider and not by us.

9.2 If you decide to add another account to the App, you’ll be asked to verify yourself with your Account Provider. This means you’ll be taken to your Account Provider’s log in page and asked to log in in the usual way. You’ll then be brought back to the App, where the account information will be displayed. You’ll need to verify yourself this way every time you add a new account to the App.

9.3 We won’t see, store or use any of your log in details for any account you hold with an Account Provider. We’ll use and store the data we receive from your Account Provider in accordance with our Account Aggregation Privacy Policy, available here.

9.4 If you add an account from an Account Provider to the App, you’re giving us permission to contact your Account Provider to request your account information. You’ll be asked to renew this permission every 90 days. If you don’t renew your permission every 90 days, we’ll stop requesting information from your Account Provider. You can choose to remove your permission at any time. If you remove your permission, we’ll stop requesting information from your Account Provider. Depending on your Account Provider, they may continue to send us your account information after we have stopped requesting it.

9.5 To keep the information on your accounts up to date, we’ll automatically refresh your account information periodically throughout the day. The time the information was last refreshed will be shown in the App. You can also manually refresh the information when you are in the App.

9.6 The information we can show you about your other accounts is limited to the information that your Account Provider gives us. We aren’t responsible for any inaccurate or incomplete information.

9.7 Your Account Provider may restrict our access to your account information for reasons out with our control. If this happens, you may not be able to view your account information on our App.

9.8 If you see any suspicious activity on your account held with your Account Provider, you should contact them directly and not us. We’re not able to pass any notifications about suspicious activity to your Account Provider on your behalf.

10. SPENDING

10.1 The “Spending” function allows you to see your transactions by category (for example, groceries) and will help to give you a better overall understanding of your spending.

10.2 Spending will analyse your existing account information and show you how your spending compares month on month. You can change the accounts you want Spending to analyse or the day of the month you want your analysis to start (for example, you might want it to start from the day you are paid each month) in the ‘Settings’ section of Spending. You will also be able to make some changes to how your transactions are categorised in ‘Settings’.

10.3 Spending will only allow you to view your Ulster Bank accounts and not any other accounts you have added through “Accounts with other banks.”

10.4 Any information provided through insights or alerts from Spending is provided for information only and is designed to help you manage your finances. It is not financial, professional, legal or tax advice.

11. RECEIPTS

11.1 The ”Receipts” function allows you to capture and upload images of your paper receipts, or email copies of your receipts to a designated email address, and access them digitally through the App.

11.2 You should keep the original copy of any receipt you upload in case it’s required for any return, warranty, tax return or any other purpose that may arise. We will not be liable for any loss of receipt data or loss of access to uploaded receipts.

11.3 Your receipts may include personal information such as your name, partial card numbers, description of the goods and services, location of the merchant and other information.  They may also include sensitive personal information, for example, relating to racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, trade union membership, physical or mental health conditions, sexual orientation, or information relating to actual or alleged criminal offences. By uploading receipts to the App, you consent to us holding this information, so it’s important that you review your receipts carefully before uploading them.

11.4 You’re responsible for the accuracy of your own accounting records and tax returns, which may use information from the receipt management tool.

12. CHARGES

We don't currently charge you for Mobile Banking. However, your mobile phone network operator may charge you when using Mobile Banking and these charges may vary if you use your mobile phone to access Mobile Banking when outside the UK.

13. OUR LIABILITY

We won't be liable to refund you for any losses caused by circumstances beyond our control (i.e. the situation was abnormal or unforeseeable), for example, due to extreme weather, terrorist activity or industrial action.

14. VARIATION/TERMINATION

14.1 You're free to cancel Mobile Banking at any time. If you'd like to do this, please call us on 0345 366 7001 (or +44 2381 244 179 from outside the UK), or contact us on our webchat webchat service at www.ulsterbank.co.uk

14.2 If you haven't used the App for 6 months your Mobile Banking access will be deactivated and you'll have to re-register in order to use Mobile Banking again.

14.3 We may suspend, restrict or end your use of Mobile Banking or any part of it where:

• we reasonably believe that your security details haven't been kept safe;
• we reasonably suspect that your security details have been used fraudulently or without your permission;
• as a result of a change in the way you use your account(s) or in your financial circumstances, we reasonably believe that you may have difficulty in meeting your commitments;
• we believe it's appropriate in order to protect your account(s);
• you've broken any of the Licence Terms set out below.

We'll tell you before we take any of these steps and we'll explain why we've done so, unless we're unable to contact you or there's a legal reason or other circumstance beyond our control that stops us from doing so. If we can't get hold of you beforehand, we'll (where possible) tell you and explain our reasons afterwards.

14.4 We can also end your use of Mobile Banking or remove the App by giving you at least 60 days' notice.

14.5 If we have a valid reason for doing so, we may change these Terms (which may include introducing charges for Mobile Banking). If we need to update the Terms to introduce a new feature into the App, which does not change the Terms relating to any existing features, we may do so immediately and will tell you as soon as we can afterwards. If we make any other change to the Terms, we’ll give you at least 60 days' notice before it takes effect.

We'll tell you about any changes by:

• notifying you within the App;
• sending a text message (to the mobile phone number you gave us);
• sending an email (to the email address you gave us);
• delivering a secure message to online banking; or
• sending you notice by post.

We'll assume that you've accepted the changes unless you uninstall the App or tell us that you'd like to cancel Mobile Banking before the change takes effect.

8. PAYMENTS

General

8.1 Your Account Terms explain how payments into and out of your account work. The section below contains information on Pay Your Contacts, which is a payment service that is specific to Mobile Banking and therefore isn't included in your Account Terms.

8.2 When you make a payment through Mobile Banking we'll make the payment using the Faster Payments Service if possible. If we can't use the Faster Payments Service we'll advise you of alternative ways to make the payment.

Pay Your Contacts

8.3 Pay Your Contacts allows to send money to a third party from your personal account by using the payee's mobile phone number, rather than their account number and sort code.

8.4 You can use this service to make payments to anyone who has registered for Paym (which is a service offered by a number of banks and building societies to allow you to send and receive payments in this way).

8.5 To make a payment in this way, you need to give us:

• the mobile phone number of the payee. (This is the information that we use to identify the payee); and
• the amount of the payment in pounds sterling.

You're responsible for ensuring that these details are correct.

8.6 When you confirm the payee's mobile phone number and the amount of the payment this will be your payment instruction to us and the payment will be processed immediately.

8.7 If the payee is registered for Paym, we'll send the payment to the account they've registered for Paym.

8.8 Once you've asked us to make a payment you won't be able to cancel it. If you realise you've given us an incorrect mobile phone number or payment amount, you must tell us as soon as possible by calling 0345 366 7001 (or +44 2381 244 179 from outside the UK). Where possible we'll try to recover the payment, but might not be able to do so. We won't be liable to you if we're unable to recover a payment in these circumstances.

9. ADDING ACCOUNTS WITH OTHER BANKS

9.1 The “Adding an Account” function allows you to add current accounts you hold with other UK banks (Account Providers), so you can view your other current accounts on the App.

9.2 If you decide to add another account to the App, you’ll be asked to verify yourself with your Account Provider. This means you’ll be taken to your Account Provider’s log in page and asked to log in. You’ll then be brought back to the App, where the account information will be displayed. You’ll need to verify yourself this way every time you add a new account to the App.

9.3 We won’t see, store or use any of your log in details for any account you hold with an Account Provider. We’ll use and store the data we receive from your Account Provider in accordance with our Account Aggregation Privacy Policy, available here.

9.4 If you add an account from an Account Provider to the App, you’re giving us permission to contact your Account Provider to request your account information. You’ll be asked to renew this permission every 90 days. If you don’t renew your permission every 90 days, we’ll stop requesting information from your Account Provider. You can choose to remove your permission at any time. If you remove your permission, we’ll stop requesting information from your Account Provider. Depending on your Account Provider, they may continue to send us your account information after we have stopped requesting it.

9.5 To keep the information on your accounts up to date, we’ll automatically refresh your account information periodically throughout the day. The time the information was last refreshed will be shown in the App. You can also manually refresh the information when you are in the App.

9.6 The information we can show you about your other accounts is limited to the information that your Account Provider gives us. We aren’t responsible for any inaccurate or incomplete information.

9.7 Your Account Provider may restrict our access to your account information for reasons out with our control. If this happens, you may not be able to view your account information on our App.

10. RECEIPTS

10.1 The receipts function allows you to capture and upload images of your paper receipts, or email copies of your receipts to a designated email address, and access them digitally through the App.

10.2 You should keep the original copy of any receipt you upload in case it’s required for any return, warranty, tax return or any other purpose that may arise. We will not be liable for any loss of receipt data or loss of access to uploaded receipts.

10.3 Your receipts may include personal information such as your name, partial card numbers, description of the goods and services, location of the merchant and other information.  They may also include sensitive personal information, for example, relating to racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, trade union membership, physical or mental health conditions, sexual orientation, or information relating to actual or alleged criminal offences. By uploading receipts to the App, you consent to us holding this information, so it’s important that you review your receipts carefully before uploading them.

10.4 You’re responsible for the accuracy of your own accounting records and tax returns, which may use information from the receipt management tool.

11. CHARGES

We don't currently charge you for Mobile Banking. However, your mobile phone network operator may charge you when using Mobile Banking and these charges may vary if you use your mobile phone to access Mobile Banking when outside the UK.

12. OUR LIABILITY

We won't be liable to refund you for any losses caused by circumstances beyond our control (i.e. the situation was abnormal or unforeseeable), for example, due to extreme weather, terrorist activity or industrial action.

13. VARIATION/TERMINATION

13.1 You're free to cancel Mobile Banking at any time. If you'd like to do this, please call us on 0345 366 7001 (or +44 2381 244 179 from outside the UK), or contact us on our webchat webchat service at www.ulsterbank.co.uk

13.2 If you haven't used the App for 6 months your Mobile Banking access will be deactivated and you'll have to re-register in order to use Mobile Banking again.

13.3 We may suspend, restrict or end your use of Mobile Banking or any part of it where:

• we reasonably believe that your security details haven't been kept safe;
• we reasonably suspect that your security details have been used fraudulently or without your permission;
• as a result of a change in the way you use your account(s) or in your financial circumstances, we reasonably believe that you may have difficulty in meeting your commitments;
• we believe it's appropriate in order to protect your account(s);
• you've broken any of the Licence Terms set out below.

We'll tell you before we take any of these steps and we'll explain why we've done so, unless we're unable to contact you or there's a legal reason or other circumstance beyond our control that stops us from doing so. If we can't get hold of you beforehand, we'll (where possible) tell you and explain our reasons afterwards.

13.4 We can also end your use of Mobile Banking or remove the App by giving you at least 60 days' notice.

13.5 If we have a valid reason for doing so, we may change these Terms (which may include introducing charges for Mobile Banking) by giving you at least 60 days' notice before the change takes effect. We'll tell you about any changes by:

• notifying you within the App;
• sending a text message (to the mobile phone number you gave us);

CHANGES TO OUR MOBILE BANKING TERMS – 3 JUNE 2019

Pay Your Contacts changes

We’re making some changes to the way you can pay your contacts through the Mobile App. 
As a reminder, the “Pay Your Contacts” feature allows you to send payments using the payee’s mobile phone number instead of their account details. You can currently make a payment to a mobile customer who is either:

(1) registered to use the RBS, NatWest, Ulster Bank, NatWest International or Isle of Man Bank Mobile Banking Apps (the Group Apps); or

(2) on the nationwide Paym database.

From 3 June 2019, you’ll no longer be able to send this type of payment to a customer registered to use our Group Apps. This means you’ll only be able to send this type of payment to someone who is registered for the industry-wide Paym service. It’s easy to register for Paym within the iPhone App by clicking Profile > Settings > Payment services > Register for Paym. For Android click on the top left menu > Paym registration.

You can still send other payments from the App to someone you’ve already set up as a payee on online banking, or to anyone if you have their bank details and the payment is less than the payment limit.

Further changes

• We’ve also removed the FAQs feature from our Mobile App. Instead, you can ask us questions through our Digital Assistant “Cora” within the App, which is available 24 hours a day.

• You can currently end your use of Mobile Banking by texting “STOP” to 87898. We’ll be removing this feature from 3 June 2019, but you can still end Mobile Banking if you want to, by deleting the App from your phone, contacting our Digital Assistant “Cora” in the App, or ringing us on 0345 366 7001  (or +44 2381 244 179 from outside the UK).

Summary

We’re updating our Mobile Banking Terms to:

•           reflect the changes we’re making to Pay Your Contacts;

•           remove the references to our FAQs, which no longer exist; and

•           reflect the changes to how you can end Mobile Banking.

Please read the updated Mobile Banking Terms carefully. They’ll take effect on 3 June 2019 and will stay in the “Help” section of the App for future reference.

General              

8.1 Your Account Terms explain how payments into and out of your account work. The section below contains information on Pay Your Contacts, which is a payment service that is specific to Mobile Banking and therefore isn’t included in your Account Terms.

8.2 When you make a payment through Mobile Banking we'll make the payment using the Faster Payments Service if possible. If we can't use the Faster Payments Service we'll advise you of alternative ways to make the payment.

Pay Your Contacts          

8.3 Pay Your Contacts allows you to send money to a third party by using the payee’s mobile phone number rather than their account number and sort code.

8.4 You can use this service to make payments to:

• anyone who has registered to use the NatWest, RBS, Ulster Bank Northern Ireland, NatWest Offshore or Isle of Man Bank Mobile Banking Apps (the Group Apps); and
• anyone who has registered for Paym (which is a service offered by a number of banks and building societies to allow you to send and receive payments in this way).

8.5 To make a payment in this way, you need to give us:                    

• the mobile phone number of the payee. (This is the information that we use to identify the payee); and
• the amount of the payment in pounds sterling.

You’re responsible for ensuring that these details are correct.

8.6 When you confirm the payee's mobile phone number and the amount of the payment this will be your payment instruction to us and the payment will be processed immediately.        

8.7 If the payee is registered to use one of the Group Apps and Paym, we’ll send the payment to one of the accounts linked to their Group App.         

8.8 If the payee isn’t registered to use one of the Group Apps but is registered for Paym, we’ll send the payment to the account they’ve registered for Paym.           

8.9 Once you’ve asked us to make a payment you won’t be able to cancel it. If you realise that you’ve given us an incorrect mobile phone number or payment amount, you must inform us as soon as possible by calling 0345 366 7001 (or +44 2381 244179 from outside the UK). Where possible we’ll try to recover the payment, but might not be able to do so. We won’t be liable to you if we’re unable to recover a payment in these circumstances.            

8.10 We’ll notify you within the App if we’re unable to make a payment.    

8.11 There’s a daily limit and an individual transaction limit on payments sent using Pay Your Contacts. Details of these limits can be found in the Frequently Asked Questions section of the App.

9.2 You should keep the original copy of any receipt you upload in case it’s required for any return, warranty, tax return or any other purpose that may arise. We will not be liable for any loss of receipt data or loss of access to uploaded receipts.

11. OUR LIABILITY

We won’t be liable to refund you for any losses caused by circumstances beyond our control (i.e. the situation was abnormal or unforeseeable), for example, due to extreme weather, terrorist activity or industrial action.

We’ll tell you before we take any of these steps and we’ll explain why we’ve done so, unless we’re unable to contact you or there’s a legal reason or other circumstance beyond our control that stops us from doing so. If we can’t get hold of you beforehand, we’ll (where possible) tell you and explain our reasons afterwards.                  

12.4 We can also end your use of Mobile Banking or remove the App by giving you at least 60 days’ notice.                                

12.5 If we have a valid reason for doing so, we may change these Terms (which may include introducing charges for Mobile Banking) by giving you at least 60 days’ notice before the change takes effect. We’ll tell you about any changes by:

• notifying you within the App;
• sending a text message (to the mobile phone number you gave us);
• sending an email (to the email address you gave us);
• delivering a secure message to online banking; or

We’re making some changes to Pay Your Contacts.

As a reminder, Pay Your Contacts allows you to send payments using the payee’s mobile phone number instead of their account details.

On 19 April 2016, we’ll be removing the part of the service that allows you to send this type of payment to someone based on them having a Visa debit, credit or prepaid card. You’ll still be able to send a Pay Your Contacts payment to someone who is registered for the NatWest, RBS, Ulster Bank Northern Ireland, NatWest Offshore or Isle of Man Bank App or for the industry wide Paym service and you can still send other payments from the App to anyone you’ve already set up as a payee on online banking.

We’re updating our Mobile Banking Terms to:

• reflect the changes we’re making to Pay Your Contacts;
• explain the different ways that we can tell you about changes to the Mobile Banking Terms; and
• make them clearer to you.

Please read the updated Mobile Banking Terms carefully. They’ll take effect on 19 April 2016 and will stay in the “More” section of the App for future reference.

General              

8.1 Your Account Terms explain how payments into and out of your account work. The section below contains information on Pay Your Contacts, which is a payment service that is specific to Mobile Banking and therefore isn’t included in your Account Terms.

Pay Your Contacts

8.4 You can use this service to make payments to:

• anyone who has registered to use the NatWest, RBS, Ulster Bank Northern Ireland, NatWest Offshore or Isle of Man Bank Mobile Banking Apps (the Group Apps); and
• anyone who has registered for Paym (which is a service offered by a number of banks and building societies to allow you to send and receive payments in this way).

8.5 To make a payment in this way, you need to give us:                    

• the mobile phone number of the payee. (This is the information that we use to identify the payee); and
• the amount of the payment in pounds sterling.

You’re responsible for ensuring that these details are correct.

8.6 When you confirm the payee's mobile phone number and the amount of the payment this will be your payment instruction to us and the payment will be processed immediately.        

8.7 If the payee is registered to use one of the Group Apps and Paym, we’ll send the payment to one of the accounts linked to their Group App.         

8.8 If the payee isn’t registered to use one of the Group Apps but is registered for Paym, we’ll send the payment to the account they’ve registered for Paym.           

8.9 Once you’ve asked us to make a payment you won’t be able to cancel it. If you realise that you’ve given us an incorrect mobile phone number or payment amount, you must inform us as soon as possible by calling 0345 366 7001 (or +44 2381 244179 from outside the UK). Where possible we’ll try to recover the payment, but might not be able to do so. We won’t be liable to you if we’re unable to recover a payment in these circumstances.            

8.10 We’ll notify you within the App if we’re unable to make a payment.    

8.11 There’s a daily limit and an individual transaction limit on payments sent using Pay Your Contacts. Details of these limits can be found in the Frequently Asked Questions section of the App.

The payment will normally be processed immediately but may sometimes take up to two hours. Payments using Pay your contacts will be identified in the payee’s account by your mobile phone number.

5.4.2 Payments to Registered Customers will be paid into the account linked to the debit card which the payee used to register for the Mobile Banking Service.

5.5 Paying Non-Registered Customers

5.5.1 You may ask us to make a payment to someone who is not a Registered Customer (a “Non-Registered payee”) provided they have a Visa debit card, Visa credit card, or a Visa pre-paid card which is eligible to receive third party payments.

5.5.2 When you instruct us to pay a Non-Registered payee by giving us their mobile phone number and the payment amount, we will work in partnership with Visa Europe Limited (“Visa”) to process your instruction.

5.5.3 Some Non-Registered payees will already have their mobile phone number and Visa card details registered with Visa. These Non-Registered payees will be treated by Visa as “Registered Visa recipients”.

5.5.4 When you instruct us to pay a Non-Registered payee who is a Registered Visa recipient, you initiate the payment transaction and Visa will process the payment on our behalf.

5.5.5 When you instruct us to pay a Non-Registered payee who is not a Registered Visa recipient.

a) Visa will send a text message to the Non-Registered payee on our behalf informing them that you wish to make a payment to them. For security reasons Visa will not state the amount of the payment in this text message. It is your responsibility to provide the Non-Registered payee with this information.

b) The Non-Registered payee will have up to seven days from the day Visa send the text message to collect the payment. After the collection period has expired the payment request will no longer be valid and you will have to make a fresh payment request if you still wish to make the payment.

c) To collect the payment, the Non-Registered payee must visit the Visa Europe collections website referred to in the text message and provide their eligible Visa card details as well as the amount of the payment. When the Non-Registered payee provides this information they initiate the payment transaction and Visa will process the payment on our behalf.

5.5.6 For all Non-Registered payees, if the payment is successful it will be credited to the Non-Registered payee’s account by the end of the business day following initiation of the payment transaction. If the payment is unsuccessful you will be sent a text message to let you know, and you will have to make a fresh payment request if you still wish to make the payment.
