Ulster Bank Systems Down, Many Left Without Money

I know of multiple people who are still waiting for their salary.

I don't know how Ulster Bank can get away with telling RTE that "almost all" salary payments have been made. It appears to be a misleading statement.

Poll agrees with you too. The fact that some people are starting to see their salary hit is very good news and shows some progress, no matter how small.
 
RTE: Ulster Now Cannot Say When Systems Will Be Restored

http://www.rte.ie/news/2012/0702/ulster-bank-technology.html

Ulster Bank had said it cannot predict when normal service will resume for its customers.

 
I have not read the full thread so apologies if this has been answered - is anyone's account showing ATM withdrawals/debits which never happened? I think mine is.

Lots of people on boards commenting on similar happening. Most times the transactions disappear again a while later.
Keep records until all this is sorted out.

Check there is no typo with an amount due to you. It seems that all transactions are been input manually.
 
is there much hassle in transfering everything to another bank? i have 3 accounts with them no wages no direct debits or S/O's gone thru since the 22nd. I'm sick of this

Does anyone have confirmation for this? Doesn't make any sense to me that there would be a manual keying of transaction required or actually useful.

They would have to do manual keying if they were unable to access previous backups. From what I have read on other forums a routine maintenance being done in their centre in Edinburgh went wrong and they lost data. When they tried to access the previous backup to hopefully add data manually and bring everything back up to date... they were unable to access the previous backup....

well considering when i was withdrawing money over the last 2 weeks, there has been no entries on the PC. just account numbers and figures wrote down on income/outcome books on the tellers desk.
 
Shocking that the government is sitting on its hands during this farce.

Ok, thanks - teller transactions are of course manual.
 
Ulster Bank now can't predict when normal service will resume, or give a timescale.

Obviously not only UB customers are impacted by this debacle - other banks' customers are as well. As is the case for others my salary paid FROM a UB account (to my PTSB account) has still not materialised. Some people in this position will incur charges/fees/penalties with their own bank.
 
Absolutely. As I said, there needs to be a clear simple procedure for non-Ulster Bank customers to make claims against Ulster Bank for late payment.
 
KBC are been effected badly by this outage as well. KBC use Ulster Bank as their clearing broker.

Hence, a lot of lodgements into KBC accounts are not showing up on KBC or Ulster systems.

Nothing shocking about it, sure the banks and the clowns in Government are best buddies and look out for everyone else and f uck the decent person in the street up. My account is all over the place. Yesterday I had about 200euro and today is showing 70euro but not showing any d/d having been debited. I also have a savings accounts, it is showing the 50 euro in the savings account been moved this week but nothing from last week, and still have not been paid for 2 weeks.
 
Appalling especially for the customers and businesses so badly affected

Exactly. It is totally outrageous that a system issue can go on for 14 days tomorrow (it started on Tuesday June 19) and could go on for another week. Customers, at this stage, would be totally justified, in ending their relationship with Ulster and switching.
