Mobile Alerts

Mobile Alerts

Now receive automatic alerts via SMS for your account balance, transactions, cheque status etc. and make enquiries about your account information with the KVB 'SMS alerts' and 'SMS enquiries' facilities. This can be received through most of the service providers, for both GSM and CDMA enabled handsets.

The two types of mobile alerts available are:

  • SMS enquiries
  • SMS alerts

The basic difference between enquiries and alerts is that alerts are sent by the bank without being requested for by the customer whereas enquiries are sent by the customer to the bank requesting for information about your account.
