Sacombank, Vietinbank, and VPBank have raised SMS Banking fees starting from September this year, encouraging customers to switch to receiving free notifications through their mobile apps. All three banks have adjusted their SMS Banking fees based on the actual number of messages generated, instead of applying a fixed monthly fee as before.
At Sacombank, the lowest SMS Banking fee is 16,500 VND per month for accounts receiving fewer than 30 text messages per month. For accounts with more than 30 SMS messages per month, the fee is 550 VND per message.
With VietinBank, the SMS Banking fee remains at 11,000 VND for accounts receiving fewer than 14 text messages per month. If the number of SMS messages fluctuates above 15, the SMS Banking fee is calculated at 880 VND per message.
Meanwhile, at VPBank, instead of the previous fixed monthly fee of 12,000 VND, customers will now pay fees ranging from 11,000 VND to 77,000 VND, depending on the number of text messages generated. Additionally, for transactions valued below 100,000 VND, VPBank will not send balance change notifications to the phone but will deliver them through the bank's mobile app.
