Subject:An Inquiry of the Alert Service
Good afternoon,
I am writing to request more information on your new Automated Alert Service,as advertised on your Website.I have had both personal and commercial accounts with Citizens'Bank for many years.Often,I find it necessary to move money between accounts.Because of this,it is vital that I keep a close eye on the cash flow of all of my accounts,to assure that their balances stay above the required minimums.Therefore,I have been searching for an economical means of keeping better track of my finances.I was considering purchasing software for this purpose,but I think that your new service might be a convenient alternative.
My first question concerns the timeliness of the notifications.When you say"instantly",does that relate only to banking hours?For example,if my wife were to use our debit card (借記卡)on a Sunday afternoon to make a transfer (轉(zhuǎn)賬) at an ATM,would I be informed via email instantly or on Monday morning?My second question is in regard to the information available in this service.Is it possible to be aware of any information in my monthly bank statement,such as interest on my savings account?Finally,I would like to know the cost of this service.Please send me this information as soon as possible.If necessary,you can contact me in the evenings at 225-782-0902.
