Ulster Bank warns its 75,000 credit card customers about €30 duty tax   

Bank will write to customers about its closure plans

Ulster Bank has stepped up its warnings to customers about its closure plans.

Ulster Bank stepped up its warnings to customers about its closure plans and for the first time set a date to close down its credit card operations.

The NatWest-owned lender shocked customers last year when it confirmed plans to shut its doors to banking in the Republic. That started a scramble for households and business account holders to switch from the third-largest lender in the local market to rival banks.
