We at Axis Bank work hard to ensure that our customers get the very best of services. For any queries regarding SMS Banking with Axis Bank, do go through the following list of FAQs for SMS banking. If your question is not listed under these SMS banking FAQs, please contact us.

The reason these convenience fees have been implemented is that the cost of providing the SMS alerts to our customers has gone up significantly over the last year. Hence, in order to continue to be able to provide you with value added services, we have instituted a nominal charge of Rs. 5 per month for this service.
If you wish to opt out of the chargeable alert service you can visit the nearest branch and submit the request in person in the CRF (Customer Request Form) to unsubscribe for chargeable alert service. However, even after unsubscribing, you will continue to receive the mandatory alerts. You can also unsubscribe by visiting your nearest ATM.
Currently as per RBI guidelines mandatory alerts include alerts for debit/credit cards transactions (ATM/POS/online), internet banking transactions, Netsecure codes, and beneficiary registration alerts. We will continue to send you these alerts.
To unsubscribe, you have to visit a Branch/ATM to place the unsubscription request. We regret that we currently are not able to process this request through other channels, as for security purposes, we wish to physically confirm your identity before unsubscribing you from the facility. This is important because SMS Alerts usually act as an early warning system for any suspicious activity in your account.
