We also offer customizable alerts ³  that automatically notify you via push notification, SMS/text message ⁴ or email message. Keep track of your balance, confirm deposits, know when a check clears and set up LockIt® card controls.

In addition to optional alerts, starting April 29, 2021, we will automatically provide you with email alerts on certain account activity.
