Ulster met with a range of financial service providers  who may be interested in providing services for their customers 

Banking customers in Ireland are facing an unprecedented level of uncertainty as Ulster, which is the third-largest general lender, and KBC Bank, a leading mortgage lender, both prepare to exit next year. 

Ulster Bank has reiterated its advice to its almost 990,000 personal and commercial customers not to leave it to last minute to think about who they will bank with, as the major lender presses ahead with plans to quit banking in the Republic early next year.

It comes as Ulster met with a range of financial service providers on Thursday who may be interested in providing services for customers holding current accounts and deposits at the bank.
