However, customers will be able to conduct transactions online.

The developments come ahead of the permanent closure of all 63 remaining Ulster Bank branches in the Republic of Ireland in just three weeks time, on April 21.

Ulster Bank has confirmed that customers will no longer be able to make cash/cheque lodgements either at the counter or through internal automation devices including cash deposit machines, bulk coin machines and automated deposit units.

It also confirmed that there will be no form of withdrawal at any Ulster Bank branch, with the exception of ATM services.
No counter foreign exchange services will be provided at the bank branches.

Branches will remain open, however to assist with any queries, as well as with moving and closing accounts.

Last week, Ulster Bank began to deactivate its remaining customer credit cards.

This follows on from steps last November when the bank began freezing and closing accounts of customers whose notice had expired.

John O’Connell, General Secretary of the Financial Services Union (FSU) previously criticised the exit timelines for Ulster Bank, noting that the smaller KBC Bank had given timelines for closures at the end of August, 2023.
