Ulster Bank Suffers Further Disruption

Ulster Bank has apologised for further disruptions to its services, after a "cyber attack" on sister company NatWest left many customers without wage payments and unable to access online services.

The disruption follows problems that occurred last week, leaving customers unable to use their debit or credit cards.

Ulster Bank has taken to Twitter to apologise to affected customers.

"We would like to apologise to any customers who have been impacted, the vast majority of customer issues have been resolved," the bank stated on its Twitter feed.

"Our services are now back on line and we're working through the impacts to our customers today."

"The bank has also assured customers that no one will be left out of pocket as a result."
