Why am I getting SMS's from POSB?

[johnny333]

I'm puzzled as to why POSB is sending me SMS about POSB related stuff?
I closed my POSB account about a decade ago

Anyone know how I can opt out from their SMS mailing list?

Do you bank with POSB?

Citi sends me SMS's to remind me about my credit card bills e.g. when it is due & how much I owe. That is useful because I sometimes forget but what POSB is doing is called spamming.

Maybe you need to disable SMS notifications.

There may be a option or setting buried in one of the menus of DBS/POSB internet banking.

Alternatively, if if makes you happy, call the bank and express your displeasure.

10 years ago, you must have a million bucks hidden in your POSB account, for them to remember you, after you have closed the account. You have be one of their preferred customer...

They may send nubile female relationship managers to your home to have 'relationships' with you, then you make a deposit into their accounts.

I am afraid of the 'interest rate' after I make the deposit, I become a life long customer...I prefer to do normal bank in...

Back in those days when I had both a POSB account & Citi account, I used the Citi account for investment purposes e.g. in Citibank Unit trusts while the POSB account was used for smaller amounts which I could withdraw using their vast ATM network n Spore.

I never kept much cash, at most $30 to 50k because I prefer to invest in stocks & unit trusts. Even today I'm fully invested.

I still receive tons of mail promoting banking services. It's a pain because I have to waste time shredding the junk mail because they personalizes these mails with my name & address :( I also get alot of spam on real estate as well as emails & now I am getting spam SMS's
