Alerts
Ensure Safe, Secure Card Usage
Alerts for PIN and signature transactions can be set up to keep you informed of your debit card usage and help you quickly detect unauthorized or fraudulent activity. This app can send an alert when a card is used or when a card transaction has been attempted but is declined ? and additional customizable alert options are available. Alerts are sent in real time, immediately after a transaction has taken place.
Location-Based Alerts and Controls
The My Location control can restrict transactions to merchants located within a certain range of your location (using your phone?s GPS); transactions requested outside of the specified range can be declined. The My Region control uses city, state, country or zip code on an expandable interactive map; transactions requested by merchants outside of a specific region can be declined.
Usage Alerts and Controls
Spending limits can be established to allow transactions up to a certain dollar value and decline transactions when amounts exceed your defined thresholds. Transactions can be monitored and managed for specific merchant categories such as gas stations, department stores, restaurants entertainment, travel, and groceries. And your transactions can also be monitored for specific transaction types: in-store purchases, e-commerce transactions, mail/phone orders and ATM transactions.
Card On/Off Setting
When the debit card is ?on,? transactions are allowed in accordance with your usage settings. When the card is ?off,? no purchases or withdrawals are approved until the card is subsequently turned back ?on.?

Ratings and reviews

Pretty much completely useless for anything other than locking and unlocking your card. Selecting specific countries to allow/disallow does nothing, and you still have to call in to make these changes. Recently, all push notifications started coming through with broken html. There is also now a fun new feature where half the time it says your financial institution server could not be reached. Bravo.

Its been 5 and a hlf hours and no notification that i used my debit card to pay a bill online. Oh, i received a txt AND email (as usual) from my MOBILE alerts, but Nothing from from the debit alert app. Noooope, im un-installing it now. It does NOT work. Unless of course "real time" means, whenever it wants to. No thanks. I did EVERYTHING to set it up right, even stayed logged in, nothing! Doesnt even show the transaction existed (yet it shows it clearly in my acct)

I really like this app, it's super handy - has real time transactions Alerts which is super helpful so you know what is being spent and where as soon as it happens. You can also turn off your card (if you were to lose it) 10/10 would reccomend ETA: after a system update to the app it wasn't working, FIB had me uninstall and reinstall app and now it is working like a gem
