Mobile Text Alerting Service

Keep track of your money on your mobile.

Features:

  • Limit Alerts. We’ll send you a text when you’re getting near to or over your account limit so you can avoid any unplanned overdraft fees. 
  • High and Low Balance Alerts. You can set your own limits. High Balance Alerts will let you know when to move excess money into a savings account. Low Balance Alerts will help make sure you always have enough money in your account for the things you want to do. 
  • Weekly Balance Alerts. Receive a weekly text with your balance and the last six transactions of the week, on a week day and time you choose. 
  • Overseas Transaction Alerts. We’ll send you a text when your debit card is used abroad to get cash or to make a purchase (including payments on websites, by phone or mail order from companies overseas). We’ll tell you which country the transaction was made in and whether it was a withdrawal from a cash machine or a purchase (at a shop or restaurant for example). Then, if you believe someone else made the transaction without your knowledge, you can call us.
  • Under 16? If you are aged between 11-15 with an Under 19s Account you can apply for our Weekly Balance Alerts and Overseas Transaction Alerts. Just visit your local branch with a parent/guardian to register.
