The growing popularity of mobile banking has been greeted by an increasing number of such services.
First Internet Bank is among the latest to join these efforts with its text message banking service, according to a recent release from the company. Customers will be able to review balances and transaction history and transfer funds through their phones. This information may be requested by sending a short code via text message to the financial institution.
The service may also protect customers from falling behind on their account activity by sending an alert each Friday.
“In a matter of seconds, our customer can check her balance and know whether she has enough funds to make a debit card purchase or withdraw cash at an ATM,” David Becker, president and CEO of First IB, said. “The speed and ease of use of text message banking will make our customers’ everyday financial decisions a little easier.”
First IB was founded in 1999 and has enabled customers to take part in mobile banking since 2008. Those interested in learning more about these services may visit www.firstib.com.
