Help: SMS Mobile Banking

SMS mobile banking allows you to fetch your account balances and recent account history by sending an SMS to VACU.

Once your mobile phone is enrolled, you may send text messages to 59851 with the following commands:

B to fetch all account balances
B acct to fetch the balance for a specific account
H to fetch the five most recent transactions for all accounts
H acct to fetch the five most recent transactions for a specific account (e.g. H S01)

NICK to fetch list of share and loans with nicknames
MENU to fetch list of available commands options
HELP to receive support information
STOP to deactivate SMS mobile banking

The commands are not case sensitive. For example, you can use 'b' as well as 'B' to fetch balances.
