Access to bank accounts
Basic bank account
Opening a current account should be easy. But for some people, perhaps because they don't have a regular income, it can prove difficult. One answer is a basic bank account.
Basic Bank Accounts are current accounts with no overdraft or credit facilities. They allow you to manage your money without worrying about getting into debt.
Ulster Bank is one of the few banks in Ireland to offer a basic bank account.

Proof of identity
By law, we need to see proof of identity and address before we can open an account. This can be a problem if you don't have ready access to the documents we usually ask for. So we've extended the range of documents we can legally accept under anti-money laundering legislation. We also have a specialist team who can help with any queries.
