Can I have Alerts about my account activity sent to my cell phone?


You can set up Alerts that will be sent via text messages or emails (or both) to your cell phone. Note that you will need a Web-enabled phone and Internet service from your cell phone provider to receive email messages.

To set up your alerts, log in to Internet Banking. From the MESSAGES area, click on the NEW link on the events line, and follow the on screen prompts. From the SEND TO pull down list, select EMAIL.

The next line is EMAIL ADDRESS. This is where you decide where and how to send alerts to your cell phone.

To send alerts using text messages: Simply type in your text message address in the EMAIL ADDRESS field. This is usually an email address that will be converted to a text message. Many providers use your cell phone number @ your provider's Web address such as: 3085551212@yourprovider.com. You may need to contact your cell phone provider for this address.

To send alerts using email: If your phone service is set up to receive email, then simply type in your cell phone's email address.

To send alerts to multiple addresses: Type in each email address separated with a comma.

To learn how to set up alerts refer to the video tutorial.
