Ulster Bank online banking - annoying popup loan ads?

[ClubMan]

Anybody else suddenly getting these on the accounts summary page? Top right of the screen ad about home/car etc. loans and inviting you to click for more info? Especially stupid from a bank given all the warnings against phishing etc.

Yes - and in Safari on the Mac, they're blocking the Account Summary heading row (blue bar) - very annoying; especially since UB aren't great at "online" at all - Anytime Banking is OK but practically every other product is "to apply, call into your local branch" ;-)

Just checked and I am not getting them. I use IE.

Have you enabled "Block Pop-up Windows" in Safari?

Same here but I still see the UB popup. Perhaps some other extension is causing problems with the built-in popup blocker doing its work properly. I must try a new/clean login profile just to see what happens...
