Text alerts
The Alerts service is available to mobile phones registered with a UK, Channel Islands or Isle of Man mobile phone provider.
Make banking easier with text messages
With our range of Alerts you can stay up to date with your finances and keep track of certain changes to your account. This provides you with enhanced security because you’ll notice if something unexpected happens on your accounts.
Changes to balance alerts
From 27th April 2020 we will no longer be sending weekly balance alerts. You’ll still be able to view your balance and manage your account with our mobile app, online banking service, telephone banking and in branch.
If you prefer to be alerted by text message, you can set up low or high balance alerts to inform you when your account goes above or below a certain limit, so you’ll know when you’ve received a large payment or if your money’s running low. We’ll check your balance at 6am and we’ll aim to text you at around 8am the same day or around 10am if it's a weekend.

Weekly balance alerts
There’s no need to call, visit a branch or queue at a cash machine to get a regular balance update. Once you register we’ll text you your balance each week on whatever day suits you best – you can even specify morning or afternoon.
From 27th April 2020 we will no longer be sending weekly balance alerts.
Upper/lower limit balance alerts
You can set up alerts to inform you when your account goes above or below a certain limit, so you’ll know when you’ve received a large payment or if your money’s running low. We’ll check your balance at 6am and we’ll aim to text you at around 8am the same day or around 10am if it's a weekend.
Activity alerts
Activity alerts allow us to send you confirmation text messages, when certain activities take place on your account. This means you’ll be able to keep track of certain changes to your account without having to call, visit a branch or log on to online banking. They’ll also provide you with increased security because you’ll notice if something unexpected happens on your account.
We’ll send you an activity alert as confirmation whenever you:
- create or amend a payee – either an individual or company
- create or amend a standing order
- update your address or telephone details
- are issued with a new debit/cash card or PIN
