Cost-Free Bank/Credit Alerts

September 14, 2019 By David Leaman

Many banks offer a service in which they will email, text or call whenever your debit or credit card has been used, even if it’s for legitimate charges.  The goal:  You know immediately if someone who shouldn’t be tapping your account is doing so.  You can set up the alerts for any amount.  For credit cards I rarely use, I’ve set alerts to zero; that way I’m notified about any activity.  I put higher dollar amounts on my high-use accounts so I don’t get bombarded.

How to start:  Simply go to your bank’s website or visit a branch to get set up.
