Five Essential Online Banking Alerts
Managing your money doesn’t have to mean constantly logging into your account. With custom digital banking alerts, you can set simple rules once and let your phone or email do the work for you. Here are five key alerts available in your online banking menu to help keep your account secure, avoid unexpected fees, and track your cash flow effortlessly.
Account Balance Below Threshold (Balance Category)
Acts as your early warning system before an accidental overdraft or non-sufficient funds (NSF) fee occurs. Setting a custom threshold, such as $100, gives you time to transfer funds or pause extra spending.
Card Transaction Over Threshold Amount (ATM/Debit Card Category)
Your front line of defense against debit card fraud. By setting a threshold, such as $50 or $100, you’ll receive instant notifications for major purchases so you can report suspicious charges immediately.
Online Banking Password Was Changed / Invalid Log In Attempt (Security Category)
Critical for stopping account takeover attempts. If an unauthorized user attempts to guess your password or alter your login credentials, these instant security alerts give you immediate notice to lock down your account.
ACH Deposit (Credit) Transaction (Transaction Category)
Takes the guesswork out of direct deposits, paychecks, or tax refunds. You will know the exact moment incoming funds hit your account—no need to repeatedly refresh your transaction history.
Fee Was Charged to an Account(Other Category)
Ensures total transparency with your money. If a maintenance, wire, or incidental fee posts to your account, you will receive immediate notification so you can review it or contact customer support.
Alerts can be enabled in the Bruning Bank Mobile App under more options, or the Online Banking website under the Alerts tab. Need assistance setting up alerts? Visit or call any Bruning Bank location.
