The cost of SMS banking depends on the type of card or account to which it is linked.
For some cards, SMS about incoming transactions to account is free of charge. Messages about outgoing transactions, as well as requests, such as checking the account balance with SMS banking, are a paid service. Information about fees you will find in Price list.
With the Push notification feature of the mobile app, receiving information about incoming/outgoing transactions is free of charge (available to private individual). Take a look at How do I enable push notifications for card or account transactions?
