NBCU Card Alerts® helps you protect your debit and credit cards by sending you transaction alerts and giving you the ability to define when, where and how your cards are used. Customize your alert preferences and usage settings to monitor and manage your cards. Alerts Ensure Safe, Secure Card Usage: Alerts for PIN and signature transactions can be set up to keep you informed of your debit and credit card usage and help you quickly detect unauthorized or fraudulent activity. Alerts are sent in real time, immediately after a transaction has taken place. Location-Based Alerts and Controls: The My Location control can restrict transactions to merchants located within a certain range of your location (using your phone’s GPS); transactions requested outside of the specified range can be declined. Usage Alerts and Controls: Spending limits can be established to allow transactions up to a certain dollar value and decline transactions when amounts exceed your defined thresholds. Transactions can be monitored and managed for specific merchant categories and specific transaction types. Card On/Off Setting: When the card is “on,” transactions are allowed in accordance with your usage settings. When the card is “off,” no purchases or withdrawals are approved until the card is subsequently turned back “on.”
