The frequency of texts sent when you enroll in Text Alerts may vary based on account activity while establishing a banking relationship or new account with First Republic. Frequency may also vary based upon action you request in response to a text message. Frequency of messages regarding products and services related to your account or relationship can be up to 3 message per month. Additional product- and service-related messages may be delivered based upon action you request in response to these messages.

You may cancel your enrollment in Text Alerts, and thereby stop receiving text messages, by replying “STOP” to any text message you receive from us. By doing so, you understand that, for your protection, you may receive an additional text message on your mobile number confirming your cancellation. If you experience any problems with canceling your enrollment or if you need help or additional information, reply “HELP” to any text message you receive from us, or call our toll-free number (888) 408-0288.

We do not charge for your access to or use of text messaging. However your Wireless Service Providers’ message and data rates may apply to the texts that you receive from and send to us.
