The SMS feature allows you to either request specific account information via SMS or to be sent an SMS if a certain action occurs on one of your accounts. This service is available wherever you are and whenever it suits you.

Whether you want to find out your account balance, or view a list of the 5 most recent transactions, you can send an SMS and receive a reply from us with the requested information.

Two types of SMS services are available:
