Alerts

Stay informed and protect your finances with bank alerts from Forward Bank. Our versatile Alerts feature within our online and mobile banking platforms provides real-time alerts designed to help you keep track of your accounts and monitor for any unusual activity. With customizable email notifications or text messages, you can stay informed about your account activity, manage your money better, and protect yourself from potential fraud. These alerts offer peace of mind by helping you take immediate action if unauthorized access is detected, ensuring your account remains secure and protected at all times.

Features and benefits of banking alerts:

• Security alerts for peace of mind: Receive real-time alerts for key changes to your online banking profile to enhance your account security. Get notified whenever your username or password is changed, if your alert preferences are modified, or if a person-to-person payment above a certain amount is made. These security alerts help you stay aware of any unusual activity and can be a powerful tool in mitigating fraud.
• Account-specific alerts to monitor your finances: Set alerts tailored to your specific accounts to keep you updated on what matters most to you. Choose to be notified when your savings account balance rises above a dollar amount, or when a debit transaction occurs on your joint checking account.
• Custom keyword alerts: You can also set up alerts for transactions that contain specific keywords—like “TAX” for income tax refunds, “SOC SEC” for Social Security payments, “Employer Name” for direct deposits, or “ATM POS” for debit card transactions. These alerts not only help you keep track of your money but can also be used to budget your finances effectively by monitoring spending patterns.
• Customizable communication preferences: You have the flexibility to choose how you want to receive each alert—via email, text message, or both—giving you complete control over your communication preferences. This ensures you receive timely notifications in the way that works best for you, helping you stay connected and proactive with your finances.
• Uninterrupted security alerts: Some alerts are too important to be turned off! If you see a lock icon next to a specific alert, it means that alert is mandatory to keep your account secure. This feature ensures that critical notifications are always active, providing an extra layer of security for your peace of mind.
