Lloyd's TSB launches text service
Lloyd's TSB has announced a new text message ordering service for its customers.
Showing that it is keeping up with the latest technology and appealing to younger consumers, customers can now send a quick text to Lloyd's to order a new cheque book or paying in book.
For a cheque book, customers should text CHQ, or for a paying in book text PIB followed by their sort code and account number to 82332. The message will cost no more than the usual charge for sending a text.
Once the text message is received, the customer's requested book should be sent within four working days.
Matthew Timms, internet and ATM director Lloyds TSB said that because mobile phones are so widely used, the new service extremely popular.
'With time at a premium we are sure that this new service will prove popular, helping customers to keep on top of those small tasks like ordering a cheque book which can easily fall by the wayside on a busy day,' he added.
Customers can also order a current account mini statement sent once a week, at the time of their choice, via text message free of charge. |
