SMS Alerts
With a quick txt, you can get instant updates on your account balances. It's also easy to set up regular alerts and receive a txt whenever something happens on your account, such as:
- account balance falls below or rises above a specified level
- direct debit or credit is processed to your account.
Or you can schedule regular account balance updates and stay on top of your finances.
