SMS Alerts is a service which allows you to obtain account balances simply by sending an SMS message from your mobile phone. You can then have account and transaction information sent directly to your mobile!

You may also set up regular alerts so that you receive a message when certain events happen on your account. For instance, you might want an SMS each time a direct debit or credit comes into your account, or if your account falls below a certain level. These alerts can be set up by yourself in internet banking, or by our staff at any branch.
