Set up and Manage Account Alerts

Adding alerts to your account is a great way to stay on top of your spending habits. Account alerts help track when your money enters and leaves your account. Set up alerts to know when your card was used or to help avoid overdrafts – it’s like having a personal teller on your device.

Trying to decide which alerts you’ll want? Don't worry, Security Alerts are automatically enabled so we’ll help keep your account secure while you decide which alerts best fit your needs. You can choose from Account and Transaction Alerts.

Set up alerts in just a few simple steps:

  1. Go to Profile & Settings. In the VyStar Mobile app, you can find this in the More option in the bottom navigation.

  2. Select Manage Alerts.

  3. Turn the communications you wish to receive on or off (email, text or push notification). *Push notifications are automatically enabled if you've already downloaded the app.

  4. Be sure to check the expanded view to see which alerts are available. Your selection will be applied to all accounts under this account type category (i.e. Checking, Savings). The expanded view also allows you to individually select accounts with alerts.

  5. Tap Save.
