Mobile Alerts

Banking

 

Your mobile phone can be used to receive intimations via SMS for balance enquiries, transaction enquiries, cheque status enquiries etc. This is possible with mobile alerts, which 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 you provided you have registered for the service whereas enquiries are sent by you to the bank requesting for information about your account.
