Apply NowDigitisation of financial services has brought the convenience of banking to your fingertips. Smartphones not only allow you to transact conveniently from your savings or checking accounts; intuitive banking apps also let you manage the non-transactional part of banking without having to visit a bank branch.
All this is possible with digital requests and instant alerts on your registered mobile number or email address. Considering that urban customers today frequently transact through wallets, UPI, and QR codes, setting up instant alerts is an excellent way to control money spending, enable record-keeping, and prevent your funds from being misused.
Here are five reasons you should set up real-time notifications for your bank account.
Inward and outward transaction alerts allow you to be cued in with every financial activity that happens in your savings account in real-time. These alerts received via email and/or text message help you verify the transaction, minimise the possibility of banking fraud, and also give an overview of your spending habits.
Some bank account alerts are more important than others. A salary credit alert could help one avoid defaulting on an EMI payment, while for another, it could mean ensuring uninterrupted groceries and supplies for the family. Also, you may want to confirm if the recipient has received funds – say, for an investment, large purchase, or tax payment to the exchequer.
Most banks have a minimum balance threshold. The bank may charge you a low balance penalty if your account balance falls below this. Some customers may even have an overdraft facility on their current or checking accounts, where a higher interest rate is charged on the funds utilised. A low balance or overdraft alert allows you to curtail your spending and replenish the account, so you don’t have to incur avoidable fees and interest charges.
Changes to your banking app password, phone number, address, or email are some account-level modifications that prompt banks to alert customers. Given the rise in instances of cyberattacks such as phishing and SIM cloning, these alerts can give you timely warnings of any suspicious activity or unauthorised changes to your account. You can contact your bank immediately and prevent impostors from wreaking havoc on your hard-earned money.
Instant alerts can significantly enhance the banking experience. With this focus, Metra Trust gives you 24×7 access to information via email, SMS, and WhatsApp banking. In addition to alerts, you can also make enquiries in real-time, streamline your banking requests, and enhance the overall security of your account.
