United Bank for Africa (UBA) Plc has announced its introduction of twitter-based transaction alerts for its customers. This new development, the bank stated, is a way of taking banking to a new level.
The bank further explained that customers will now have the option of receiving transaction alerts in their Twitter direct messages inbox instead of the text messages on their mobile phones or e-mails which the bank used to send to notify them.
The twitter alert by the UBA is the first time any bank in Nigeria will offer customers a third option of receiving their transaction alerts via their twitter handle.
The bank however informed that the Twitter Notification Service will not replace the current SMS alerts system in place for all of the bank?s customers, but will complement it for added convenience for all those who subscribe to the service.
?Twitter is increasingly becoming a popular means of communication especially among the young adults. As a highly innovative bank, we are giving the Millennials, who are increasingly banking with us an option to get transaction alerts on their preferred platform? said Rasheed Adegoke, UBA?s Director, Information Technology.
UBA customers seeking to receive twitter powered transaction alerts through their twitter account should visit the UBA Group website or the UBA twitter page to register.
