Additional mobile banking services from Rockland Trust include the ability for customers to use a variety of mobile devices to check balances, track account activity, search transactions, and set up alerts for text or e-mail messages for changes in their account.

Customers can enroll easily from the bank’s mobile web site page, or if they use online banking, from the home page of their online account. A Rockland Trust mobile banking app is also available from the Apple, Blackberry, and Android app stores and can be downloaded for free.
