Ulster Bank claims accounts issue ‘resolved’

Ulster Bank has said it has “resolved” the problem which caused the disappearance of money from customer bank accounts over the weekend.

The issue, which the bank labelled a “human error”, caused widespread fear and anger among customers who were left unable to pay bills, direct debits and standing orders as a result of the problem.

In a statement issued yesterday, the bank said it had rectified the issue and that all customer accounts had been corrected.
