Aurelia e2e: Check if span within a div contains certain text

I want to see if the text contained in a span which itself is contained in a div contains certain text. This is the HTML

<div class="funds">
                <span>banking</span>
                <span class="m-l-sm">
                        <b>EUR 1,000</b>
                </span><!--anchor-->
        </div>

I want to check if <span class="m-l-sm"> contains 'EUR'

One way I tried to do this (among several others) is:

var checkFunds = element(by.id("m-l-sm"))
    if(checkFunds.getText().toContain('EUR'&'GBP'));
    //do something

I get an error saying .toContain() is not a function. I'm at a bit of a loss as to how to proceed. Thanks
