Texts from Halifax and LLOYDSTSB

I guess this is part of what their system update was upgrading over the weekend.

I am a Halifax customer and received a text from 'Halifax' warning me of being near my limit (I don't have an overdraft and balance is 0.01) which was unexpected but useful I guess! This isn't my main bank account anyway.

Then I received another text from LLOYDSTSB (I'm not a customer) saying I could text a shortcode to receive mini statements!

I don't think they quite managed a fully hiccup free integration of Halifax and Llloyds TSB, at least not where the texts are concerned.

Anyone else receive the same kind of texts?

At least it is progress

When I signed onto my HBOS this morning, it asked me to confirm my mobile & home telephone numbers. I done this and straight away got a text from BANKOFSCOT just a confirmation saying I had updated details, hope I don't start recieving unwanted texts!

You can probably opt out of receiving texts from them.

I guess the IT people at HBOS/LLOYDSTSB flicked the ON switch for this texting capability last night!

I actually like the text messages, they are free and warn me when my account balance is low and about to go into overdraft so I can move money across to avoid this. ;-)

Yeah I don't think I will need the txt messages, I know myself when my account is low as I check banking everyday, I don't have an overdraft so don't have worry about that.
Sure there will be a way I can opt out of them if need be
