Norway’s DnB NOR has revealed it now
has almost 500,000 users of its SMS m-banking service, with 60,000
customers logging on to the service for the first time during the
summer.
The bank says users are beginning to use the
service for more than simply checking balances, with some 13.5
percent using the tool for other reasons.

“During the holiday period, SMS alerts
in particular increased in popularity,” said Ingjerd Blekeli
Spiten, head of internet banking and mobile services at DnB NOR.
“For example, many have chosen to receive alerts notifying receipt
of e-invoices [eFaktura] as well as alerts signalling card activity
above a certain amount.”
Greatest interest has been shown by the bank’s
younger customers, DnB NOR said, though the bank added a number of
customers over 80 were also among those who regularly transferred
money via SMS.
