Just got a couple of mini statements at 0640 today. What time do most people get their texts? And can this be adjusted to a more sociable time?!


i get mine around that time but i nener notice it - you can change the day you get them but i dont think you can change the time

Get mine at 8am (Barclays)

FD's tend to be sent around 0630. Shame they charge for any but weekly statements; they used to do "below x in account y" for free too which was handy towards the end of the month. Now it's charge for anything other than three a week scheduled. Anyone doing them for free - Barclays aren't known for being generous with anything.

I believe Barclays SMS system is trialling at present (I'm not paying anything). I get a weekly balance update on a Tuesday morning, and a balance warning at a specified level whenever the account falls below a certain level. It's only on 1 account though at present.
