Ulster Bank Limited, though headquartered in Belfast, has operated as a subsidiary of NatWest — and later Royal Bank of Scotland — since 1917, which makes it one of the longer-surviving commercial note issuers in the islands still trading under its original name. The right to issue private banknotes in Northern Ireland was preserved under the Bankers (Ireland) Act 1845 and remains in force today, a legal survival that explains why a bank effectively owned by an Edinburgh institution continues printing its own currency.
De La Rue's security thread specification during this period predates the fully windowed threads that became industry standard in the mid-1990s.
