Roy Questions Ulster Bank CEO at Stormont Committee
Transcript of exchange between Roy Beggs MLA and Jim Brown CEO Ulster Bank at Stormont, 5/7/12 Mr Beggs: You said that you still have five days of back processing to do. I should put on record my thanks to your front line staff. You have put them in an impossible situation, and I thank them for the way in which they are trying to deal with it.

Ulster Unionist MLA Roy Beggs has hit out at Ulster Bank’s treatment of its local customers as unacceptable, describing it as second class when compared to how the rest of the RBS group has been treating their customers. The East Antrim representative, who also sits on the Assembly’s Finance committee, said: “We are now ten days into this crisis and it is absolutely intolerable that local people who are customers of the Ulster Bank still cannot access their funds. I am extremely concerned that the Ulster Bank, which is part of the RBS Group, has treated local customers as second class when compared to how its sister companies, the Royal Bank of Scotland and Nat West have been treating their customers. Why should the technical problems result in more severe delays here than in other areas? RBS and Nat West Banks have opened over 1,000 of their branches from 8am … Continue reading
