    Hopefully not for long.

    There'll be hell to pay this time of year if it's down for days.

    These things happen when you outsource your IT to India on the cheap

    This is what happens when you cut back on preventative maintenance.

    My card was declined online earlier but went through the third time I tried. I hope this doesn't mushroom like it did last year...

    My guess is that this is a SEPA implementation that's gone wrong. When balances are wrong it could be just on the shadow online. This can sort itself out in 24 hours usually. Unless they have royally f@cked up of course! Hopefully not caused by the same Indian who wiped the schedule the last time

    Chauffe, Marcel, chauffe!


    Online payments down on cyber Monday. The biggest day for online payments in the year. You couldn't make it up. Missed out on 40% discount on GAP order. UB can kindly compensate me for that :(

    Card is blocked now too :mad:

    Too many times entering the "wrong" password. Ulsterbank calling me a liar now too? :mad:

    That's false. I entered my details correctly.

    That just being sensationalist.

    No, their system has a glitch and is giving an automated response. No one is calling you a liar and you know it. It sucks that their system isn't working but saying that they're calling you a liar is, ironically enough, lying.
