They've stolen your bank card

Spanish bank Bankinter has launched an sms based service to inform people each time their bank card is used. As MarketingDirecto (in Spanish) explains this service has the objective to let people know on time if their card has been stolen or misused. [via Adverblog]

"A system warns the user via SMS of each banking operation made with the
card. if ever the user notices that one of the retrievals was not made by him/her, s/he can cancel the card immediately.

To activate the service, the Bankinter client has to send an sms that says "P" to the 7128 number." (Thanks Régine!)
