Contacting customers

The holdall system only emails customers when an action is made by the customer or technical support is required. For example, we will send you a receipt confirmation when you make a purchase, or if you sign up for a new card, we will email you to confirm your new card is on the way. We will also contact you to provide customer support if you ever need help. The system will not send you emails for marketing purposes.

Additional contact for special offers

When you sign up, you are given the extra option to request-

“I wish to be kept informed of services and special offers”.

If you would like to be kept informed of special offers, you can let us know when you sign up, or by contacting holdall@norfolk.gov.uk. Alternatively, if you signed up and chose to be informed of special offers, but no longer wish to receive any additional emails please let us know by contacting holdall@norfolk.gov.uk. We are committed to ensuring that you are in control of the information that we send to you and can change your settings at any time.
