Types of Account Alerts

Automatic Alerts

When you enroll in Account Alerts, there are some alerts you’ll get automatically—no set up necessary! These include Bill Payment, Online Security and Credit/Debit/ATM Suspicious Activity alerts.

Bill Payment

You’ll be notified for things like payee updates, payment cancellations, undeliverable e-bills and other alerts related to bill or e-bill payments.

Online Security

You’ll receive notification of user name or password changes, contact information updates, bank messages and other alerts related to general online security.

Suspicious Activity

If we suspect your Credit/Debit/ATM card is compromised, it will be turned off while we send you a text message to confirm whether a purchase is yours. Reply "yes" and your card will be turned back on. Reply “no” and we will shut down your card and send you a new one.
