My bank card has enabled text message notifications. Why haven’t I received text messages recently?

If your bank card has enabled SMS notifications but has not received reminders recently, it may be due to the following reasons: First, check whether the balance of the bank card is sufficient to pay the SMS notification service fee. If the balance is insufficient, The system may be out of service and text messages cannot be received. Secondly, if the change in the account balance is less than the minimum limit stipulated by the bank (such as 10 yuan), the SMS notification may not be triggered. The mobile phone settings or the operator may have blocked the bank's SMS number. In this case, you need to adjust the mobile phone settings or contact the operator to solve the problem. Banking system issues or signal issues may also cause text messages to be delayed or not sent. Occasional delays are normal, but if this happens frequently you may need to contact your bank to check. In addition, the SMS reminder services of some banks have a validity period and will automatically expire after one year and need to be applied for again.

To activate the SMS reminder service, you can follow the steps below: When a new user opens an account at the bank counter, provide a mobile phone number to automatically activate SMS notification. If you already have a bank card but have not activated it, you need to go to the counter to apply for the SMS reminder service. If your mobile phone number has been changed or canceled, you need to bring your ID card to the counter to change the bound phone number. Call the bank's customer service hotline and provide your ID number to activate the SMS service. Or activate it at the bank's self-service terminal.

The purpose of SMS notifications is to help you monitor account changes, such as avoiding card amount errors (timely discovery and refund), preventing bank cards from being lost or stolen (quickly reporting the loss), and preventing online banking security issues.

However, it should be noted that SMS notification services usually charge fees and may result in frequent push of bank advertisements, which may become a form of harassment. Therefore, while enjoying the convenience, you also need to weigh the possible annoyances.
