DeGLORIOUS:

The SMS alert does not give security anymore, most of the alerts come hours late, even a day late

Bank will still bill the person twice except if the person is using opay

Email alert and checking transaction details on the mobile app is still the best but for those who don't have android phones should maintain the SMS alert.

Why would a sane human being disable sms alert because of #6 ? I don’t believe it really make any sense
Not everyone make single transactions per week, some people make over 100 transactions per hour cool

It's your money, and you have a choice.
Move your money somewhere else.

I'm guessing you do only one transaction monthly on your account. That is if you have one.

You do get alerts or bank messages from your whatsapp app?
axglide:
WhatsApp is the best. Businesses should adopt WhatsApp messaging over the traditional SMS
Re: More Nigerians Disable SMS Alert Over Charges by Love800(m): 12:22pm On Jul 07, 2025
Can you list the other types of mails we have?
I thought it was only Gmail.
Agboconsult1:
Switching to emails to receive transaction details will be charged also by email services such as Yahoo and Gmail as these major email services u will have to subscribe for premium services.
Already Yahoo charges users monthly to have premium services as to view email clearly unless u subscribe to their premium Yahoo Plus.
So if u r opting to use email, make sure is Gmail.

Sign the indemnity form? Perhaps you have some thousands in your account. Sorry...no serious business minded person will sign it. Yeah. Since day 1 around 2010, I disabled it too. But last year, they claimed Cardoso made it compulsory that sms must be activated or you.sign that thing which I can't. You don't value your money is why you are talking like that. And sure, banks are still liable to refund any stolen money. You cant take them to court or do anything if you sign it. I can't. Sorry.
I was looking for how to turn it off and saw your message.
Thanks a lot. I can't shout abeg.
