Step 5 – Customize your Alerts

You can now customize each type of Alert on the below:

"Receive alerts by the following methods" - Select the type of alerts you wish to receive. You can choose "Email" and/or "App Notifications" 

"Receive alerts regarding the following accounts" – You can choose either "all" or the specific accounts and credit cards you wish to receive alerts about. 

"Threshold amount" - Here, you need to enter a dollar value. In this example we entered $1, so if any amount is withdrawn from an ATM, over $1 you would receive an alert via your chosen method. 

Once you're happy with your settings, tap "Save Changes". 

We recommend that you go ahead and customize all of your alert categories.
