How can I set up alerts to notify me of any suspicious or unusual charges?

You can set up alerts to notify you of any suspicious or unusual charges on your credit card or bank account through your bank or credit card issuer's online or mobile banking platform. Many banks and credit card issuers offer the option to receive email or text alerts for certain types of transactions, such as purchases exceeding a certain amount, purchases made outside of your usual spending patterns, or transactions made from a foreign country.

To set up alerts, log in to your online or mobile banking account and navigate to the settings or preferences section. From there, you can select the types of alerts you want to receive and how you want to receive them. Some banks and credit card issuers may also allow you to customize the frequency and timing of the alerts.
