Text Alerts
The Alerts service is available on mobile phones registered with a Channel Islands, UK or Isle of Man mobile phone provider.
Easy banking, on the go, with text messages
Our range of Text Alerts allows you to stay up to date with your money and keep track of some changes on your account. This acts as a way of giving you enhanced security as you’ll notice if an unexpected transaction happens on one of your accounts.
Balance Alerts
Our upper/lower limit balance alerts help you to keep track of when your balance dips below a certain amount or when you receive a large payment. We’ll check your balance at 6am each day and aim to text you your balance at around 8am the same day or at 10am on the weekend.
Activity Alerts
Activity Alerts are text messages that let you know when specific activities take place on your account. They allow you to keep track of changes without a branch visit, a call or logging on to online banking.
It’s also a handy way to enhance security on your account as you’ll know if something happens on your account that you weren’t expecting.
We’ll send you an Activity Alert text message whenever you:
- create or amend a payee (individual or company)
- create or amend a standing order
- update your address or telephone contact details
- are issued with a new debit/cash card or PIN
Online Banking
- Log in to Online Banking (Don’t use it? Sign up here today)
- Click on ‘Alerts’ on the left-hand-side menu
- Click on ‘Manage account alerts’
Over the phone
- If you have an eligible account (a sterling current or savings account), you can register or manage Alerts at your local branch or via Telephone banking.
- To set Alerts up in branch you’ll need to bring your debit card and a form of photo identification (e.g. current passport or current photo driving licence) with you.
