More about Paym
Now your friends can send you money Paym

Now it’s easy for friends to send you money – even if they’re a customer with a different bank.

All you need is Paym. It’s a service that’s available to customers of most of the UK’s leading banks and building societies.

How does it work?

To use Paym, you need to register using the latest version of the Mobile Banking app. Open the app and select Paym from the menu. You’ll find all the registration details there.

Paym is available on most personal accounts and the list of eligible accounts will show during the registration process. When registering you need to select the account in which you wish to receive payments.

After you’ve registered, your friends just need to use their bank’s own mobile app to send you money using Paym.

They don’t need to know your account number or sort code. All they need is your name and mobile phone number and they’ll be able to send money to your account.

Did you know that you can also send money with Get Cash?

We love our Get Cash feature because it allows us to withdraw money even if you have forgotten your bank card.

But did you know that you can use Get Cash as a means to send money to others?

When you request a Get Cash code from within our mobile app you have the option to text the code to a phone number of your choice. So you could send the code to a friend or family member who is near an Ulster Bank NI, NatWest, RBS Scotland, EasyCash or Tesco cash machine and they can withdraw up to £130 instantly, without needing a debit card.

Important information
Forgotten your bank card... Get Cash

We love Get Cash, our award-winning feature that lets you withdraw money without using your bank card. We think you will, too. It’s perfect for those times when you need small amounts of cash but don’t have your wallet or purse to hand. Get Cash is another way our Mobile app makes your everyday banking easier.

How does it work?

Get Cash couldn’t be simpler. Use the Mobile app to quickly select the amount of money you’d like to withdraw. We’ll provide you with a secure code that stays valid for three hours and can be used to withdraw the money at any Ulster Bank Northern Ireland, NatWest, RBS Scotland, EasyCash, or Tesco cash machine. Use the secure code yourself, or text it to someone else. You can use this service up to twice a day, but can only have one cash code at a time.

What you need to know:

Get Cash only allows a maximum withdrawal limit of £130 per day

• The amount requested must be within the daily withdrawal limit for your debit card

• There is a maximum limit of two Get Cash withdrawals a day – and only one cash code can be provided at a time

• You must have at least £10 available funds to withdraw from your account (including any overdraft facility).
