New technologies have led to new products and alerting services for personal financial management represent a natural extension of E-Banking.

Our lives are familiar with cutting edge messaging technologies and alerting services (like e-mails, Instant Messages (IM), SMS or 3G telephony).

Financial institutions typically use one or more of these communication channels to deliver banking information to a customer's fingertips. The key objective of alerting services is to keep customers informed about their banking details wherever they are.

Alerting services empower bank customers to:

Keep track of money...
Credit card payment due date or Bank account balance or any other financial relationship event that customers elect to be notified on.

An alert message will land at the customer's fingertips notifying that their credit card bill is due day after tomorrow, or that their current account balance on Sunday morning was AED 13,180 or that their salary got credited today.

The goal is to provide customers with a menu of choices so that they choose the type of information they would like to be alerted on.

At all times...
Customers can sign up for alerting notifications by selecting the frequency at which they would like to receive messages from their bank. For example, customers may choose to receive messages once a day or once a week or once a month.

Anywhere...
Even if a customer is traveling, he / she can receive alerts over emails.

In this age of Internet and wireless based messaging, these value added services reinforce the burgeoning of traditional banking services such as visiting bank branches. So don't miss out and get on to the bandwagon to experience the future of banking.
