The contact centre was first located in South Belfast. It will be relocated to the bank’s east headquarters in Donegall Square as part of the bank’s multi-million-pound investment plan.

Employees presently working in the South Belfast location will also be moved to the east headquarters.

Ulster Bank Northern Ireland head Mark Crimmins said: “We are making a significant investment in the centre of Belfast which will upgrade office space for our team, help us create new employment locally, and bring hundreds of more people into the city centre of Belfast.

“This is a hugely positive development for Ulster Bank as well as for the city and Northern Ireland.

“The decision by RBS to locate customer service jobs for the wider bank in Belfast is also recognition of the continuing excellent standards being set by our Belfast team.”

Last week, reports emerged that RBS is planning to cuts thousands of jobs at Natwest as a part of its cost-cutting strategies.

According to media reports, RBS’ digital banking platform CEO Mark Bailie is also preparing to leave the organisation.
