Text Alerts and Messaging

It’s amazing what a little text can tell you.

Text alerts are simple, quick, and convenient. They help you stay aware of account activity without having to log in or make a call and help ensure you do not overdraft your account. Receive updates when you want for the activity most important to you.

Alerts are set up in the mobile app and are customizable. They can be configured to notify you of specific activity, such as when an account balance dips below your preferred threshold or when a transaction occurs on your account.

Have a question about a text alert you received? Our Customer Care Center is ready to assist. You can also text a question or request to (800) 213-9166 and a team member will answer shortly. As always, your conversation is private and secure.
