Abstract

A system is provided for transferring financial data from a utility supplier to a number of remote devices belonging to at least one consumer. The system comprises a financial data memory in which is stored financial data relating to consumers of a utility supplier; a number of remote devices, each device further comprising a receiver having a network address in a radio network and a device memory; and a controller arranged to retrieve from the financial data memory financial data relating to a consumer and to transmit the financial data as a message over the radio network to the network address of at least one remote device. Each device is arranged to receive the message transmitted by the controller over the radio network and to store in the device memory the financial data in the message where the network address of the message matches the network address of the receiver. A method is also provided for transferring financial data from a utility supplier to a number of remote devices belonging to at least one consumer.
