Supports are in place for vulnerable customers who've yet to close their accounts.

After 187 years of trading here, Ulster Bank will close its remaining 63 branches for the final time today.

Ulster Bank had over 1 million customers in the Republic.

While the vast majority of accounts have now been closed, Brian Hayes from the Banking and Payments Federation Ireland, says there are still supports in place for vulnerable customers and those caring for them.

'By the end of August, all of the accounts should be closed.

We're at probably no more than about 5% of accounts to be closed at this stage.

Yep, we're about 95% of the way through.

But we're providing this additional service for the next 6 months and we will see at that point if people need more support.'
