**The Ulster Bank has become the first bank in Ireland to enable its customers donate
to charities at any of its ATMs in Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland.**

Customers will be able to donate between €1 and €250 to one of eight charities. 
There will be no service charges or transaction fees.

The charities are: Rehab; Barnardos; Irish Cancer Society; Concern Worldwide; Irish
Heart Foundation; Irish Hospice Foundation; Society of Saint Vincent de Paul and
the Simon Communities of Ireland.

Pauline McKiernan, Community Affairs Manager, Ulster Bank Group, said: “Customers
will see the option “Donate to a Charity” clearly displayed on the same screen as
other options like “Cash Withdrawal” and “Pay Bill”.

“By selecting the charity option, the screen prompts customers to select a donation
amount, their chosen charity and, once these are confirmed, the transaction is complete.
Customers can also print their donation receipt”.

“We welcome any innovations that will help charities fundraise more easily and effectively”,
said Deirdre Garvey, Chief Executive of The Wheel. “We are delighted to see this
development which gives the public a new and easy way to donate to their favourite
causes.”

Ulster Bank is part of The Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) Group.
