    If these organisations stop sending alerts, they'll make money from customers missing payments and going overdrawn 
    I consider myself to be a male feminist. Is that allowed?

    Santander haven't bought TSB yet, the deal still has to have regulatory and shareholder approval and won't go ahead until Q1 2026 so nothing to do with them,

    Takeover or no, it's not unheard of for competing businesses to note what their competitors are doing and follow their lead.
    Sure and they are no doubt doing it to save a little yes but as I said, OP is blaming Santander for a change TSB made themselves
    I didn't blame Santander for TSBs decision. Not sure how you read that into my post. 

    I even stated the takeover hadn't yet occured.

    There was no need to mention Santander at all, and the wording implies a link between the change and the takeover.

    A clear statement would be have been sufficient, there was no reason to mention the possible takeover at all

    TSB are following in the footsteps of Santander by removing several different text alerts. 


    Sam Vimes' Boots Theory of Socioeconomic Unfairness: 

    People are rich because they spend less money. A poor man buys $10 boots that last a season or two before he's walking in wet shoes and has to buy another pair. A rich man buys $50 boots that are made better and give him 10 years of dry feet. The poor man has spent $100 over those 10 years and still has wet feet.
