Frequently asked Questions

1. How do I subscribe for SMS Banking?
  To subscribe, call 1300 888 888 and our Customer Care Consultant will assist you with your registration.
2. How do I know if transacting through SMS Banking is secure?
 

Each SMS Banking transaction requires a user defined 4-digit Pin Code which you are required to provide at the point of activation. This Pin Code is similar to your password. To set this Pin Code during activation, send ‘RG’ followed by <space> and the 4-digit Pin Code to 32722. You will receive a successful registration message from us.

We strongly advise that you immediately delete your message from your “Sent Messages” folder immediately after that, to protect the security of your Pin Code. You should follow this practice EVERY time you send any message bearing your Pin Code.

3. What are the eligibility criteria for SMS Banking?
  SMS Banking caters to individuals with any of the following account: Savings Account, Current Account, Fixed Deposits or Credit Cards with the bank. This service is currently not available for joint-accounts where the signing instruction is ‘both to sign’.
4. What mobile phone do I need to use this service?
  As long as your mobile phone supports SMS function, you will be able to access our SMS Banking service.
5. What are the charges for using this service?
  Standard Chartered do not charge for using or subscribing to this service. You will incur standard SMS charges by your mobile operator for every request sent to us at 32722. Our SMS responses to you are free. You may want to refer to your mobile operator to check their SMS rates.

7. How do I access these functions?
 

Send an SMS request to 32722 and you will receive a corresponding response from the bank. The SMS request should contain:

'Service Code' of the desired function <space> user defined 4-digit Pin Code <space> and the last 4-digit of your account number that you will be accessing

e.g

To enquire on the available balance of your Current Account (account number 312 123456789):

CE 0101 6789

Where 0101 is your user-defined 4-digit Pin Code.

8. I have received a response from the bank in two messages. Will I be charged for the second message?
  The response from certain functions such as Transaction History may not be sufficiently displayed in one message due to the limited number of characters supported by SMS (160 characters). Hence, the message is delivered to you in two parts or messages. You will not be charged for messages received from 32722. However, local telco SMS charges will still apply to SMS request sent to 32722 from your mobile phone.
9. Can I subscribe to this service if I am sharing the mobile phone with my spouse/partner?
  You are strongly discouraged from subscribing if you are sharing your mobile phone as you will be receiving information on your accounts on the mobile phone. To maintain the confidentiality of your accounts, please ensure the mobile phone is not shared.
