Clear, predictable pricing for Financial Services firms

We charge per user, so you only pay for the people you need to reach. Each licence includes generous allowances for push, SMS and voice — enough for systems outages, regulatory alerts and office incidents without worrying about unexpected costs.
  • Simple per-user pricing — no hidden extras
  • Ample message allowances built in
  • No "per alert" charges or surprise invoices

Frequently Asked Questions

What is required to get up and running?

We create your private administration console, seeded with sample data for financial services firms. You'll receive logins for the admin site and time-limited app registration codes. From there, you can upload your staff list, publish your continuity documents and roll out to a pilot group. Most firms are ready to test in under an hour.

Where is our data stored?

Your data is hosted in a Tier 3+ carbon-neutral European data centre in Germany. With ISO 9001, 14001 and 27001 certifications, N+1 power, generators and UPS, we deliver enterprise-grade security and uptime.

How much does it cost?

We charge per staff member, so you only pay for the people you need to reach. Each licence includes generous allowances for push, SMS and voice messaging. No hidden extras, no per-alert billing, and straightforward for finance and compliance teams to budget for.

See what it costs

What number do messages come from?

In most countries we can provide a dedicated number for SMS and voice. Staff can reply, and responses are logged in your console. If replies aren't needed, SMS can be sent from a branded text ID instead.

What if we run out of messages?

Every licence includes a generous allowance sized for normal financial services use — systems outages, regulatory notifications, office closures and urgent operational updates. If you ever approach the limit, we'll notify you well in advance and you can top up at low cost. Most firms never need to.

Do part-time staff count the same as full-time?

Yes — licensing is per person, not per device or shift. This ensures everyone can be reached in an emergency and keeps your budget simple to manage.

What languages can we use?

SMS can be sent in any language supported by your keyboard. Voice messages are available in most languages, with male/female voices and regional English accents.

Is there a minimum contract?

We offer annual licences for predictability. Multi-year discounts are available. Charitable or not-for-profit financial organisations can request special pricing.

Fewer Gaps. Faster Response. Greater Regulatory Confidence.

When the unexpected happens — a systems failure at 7am or a regulatory incident mid-day — you need everyone informed, documents accessible, and responses evidenced within minutes. The Calling Tree delivers instant alerts with tracked confirmations and document access you can demonstrate to the FCA and your auditors.
