Account alerts
Our free account alerts help you stay up-to-date with what’s happening in your accounts.
If you have a current account and/or credit card, you were automatically registered to receive some account alerts to help you avoid charges, or to let you know about certain activity on your account.
We’ll send these alerts by text, push notification, and/or email, so it’s important you tell us if your mobile number or email address changes.
You can manage your alert settings and set up new alerts by:
- Using Online Banking (log on, click ‘Account services’, then ‘Account alerts’ on the left-hand side and follow the steps). If you're not yet using Online Banking you can sign up today
- Visiting your local branch
