Let’s face it: banking can be stressful. It can be hard to keep track of money going in and out, pay loans on time, and make sure your balance never falls too low. But there’s a solution to these problems – text and email alerts, easily set up through Elevate’s mobile app or online banking. Here’s how eAlerts can boost your financial wellness and grant you peace of mind.
Benefits of eAlerts
eAlerts have become increasingly popular in recent years, and for a good reason. These alerts are notifications sent directly to your phone, tablet, or computer, providing you with real-time updates about your account.
They can help you stay on top of your finances and avoid any unexpected surprises. For example, you can set up alerts to notify you when a transaction exceeds a certain amount, when your balance falls below a certain threshold, or even remind you to make your loan payment a couple of days before it’s due.
One huge benefit of eAlerts is also that they can help you identify potential fraud or unauthorized transactions. If you receive an alert for a transaction that you don’t recognize, you can take immediate action to protect your account and prevent further damage. If this does happen, please contact Elevate immediately and let us know so that we can take steps to secure your account.
eAlerts are also incredibly customizable and convenient. You can choose which alerts you receive, how frequently you receive them, and how they’re delivered – via text, email, or simply a push notification. And they can even potentially help you save money – setting up alerts for low-balance reminders can help you avoid overdraft fees.
How to Set up eAlerts
So, eAlerts are super helpful and customizable. But how do you set them up? It’s super easy! You can set up eAlerts through online banking or our mobile app.
In Online Banking, the option is available under ‘eAlerts’ in the menu. In our mobile app, you can turn them on by going to the menu and choosing ‘notifications.’ You can then customize them to alert you when transactions occur over a certain threshold (as low as $0) or when your balance is low.
These notifications can be set up to alert you either by push notification, text message, or email. If you need any help setting them up, please feel free to call or text us at 435-723-3437!
In short, eAlerts are an incredibly useful tool for managing your finances. They can help you stay on top of your accounts, identify potential fraud, and save money. So, if you haven’t already, consider setting up alerts for your Elevate account today.
