Joining 48?

[MarkQ9460]

Cannot access Ulsterbank online banking via the 48 network. 

Apparently it works with the Ulsterbank app.. I neither have nor want the app! 

It isnt possible to access via your browser.

Future potential users be warned!

Why don't you want to use the UB app if it does the job that you want?

[MarkQ9460]

Why is that of any concern to you? you dont even work for 48..

Apparently.

Convenient way to distance themselves from ANY interaction with customers.

It's not a particular concern of mine.
I just wondered why you wouldn't use the app if that solves the problem that you're having.

Seems like an obvious solution?
And yes, I do not work for 48.

🤣 doesn't work for 48 but has the contact details there in your signature for convenience. You good samaritan.

I've a reason why I don't want to use the app, which to you is irrelevant.

I cannot log into Ulster bank anytime banking from the 48 network via any browser. End of story.

Hope this helps.

The obvious answer to this question is privacy and app permissions. Corporate apps are much harder to control than browsers, and tend to suck more data than necessary given half a chance.

Ulsterbank collects as much data as they can just like every other corporation does today. You have to be right on top of every app, and their permissions, and fully up-to-date with their privacy policy and terms and conditions, or have other apps to do this for you. Or you configure a good privacy respecting mobile browser.

By using a good mobile browser like properly configured Firefox and installing ad-blocking and privacy enhancing addons you can greatly limit the data they can collect to just the necessary information in order to do your banking and nothing else.
