Account Alerts: Never Get Caught Off Guard
Your accounts will likely have more activity during the holiday season than in other months. Unfortunately, this is also a period where fraud peaks. Protect your accounts and stay on top of money matters with Account Alerts.
You can set up alerts within Online Banking and select which notifications you want to receive for an utterly personalized banking experience. Your alerts will be delivered instantly via text, email, or push notification. Common alerts include:
- Daily balance notifications
- Low balance alerts
- Recent withdrawals
- Upcoming payment due dates
- And more!
The holiday season is full of distractions. However, when you enable account alerts, you’ll always be on top of your finances.
Card Controls: Extra Protection for Debit & Credit Cards
It's wise to carry only small amounts of cash on you, especially during holiday shopping. Using your debit or credit card is a more convenient and safer way to pay. However, you must also protect your cards between all your holiday purchases and the uptick in fraud. That’s where card controls come in!
With the CAMPUS Card Control app, you can completely customize how your debit and credit cards work. Common features include:
- Enable alerts to monitor spending
- Create limits on how much can be spent for merchant categories or transaction types.
- Turn your cards ON or OFF to prevent fraud.
Card controls empower you to decide when, where, and how your debit and credit cards are used. Think of it as an extra layer of protection designed to prevent overspending and minimize potential fraud. The best part is that you can control your cards from anywhere with just a few taps on your phone!
