 TITLE: How to Set Up Bank Account Alerts CONTENT: Fortunately, it's not too difficult to set up bank account alerts. Each bank's online portal will be slightly different, but here is a general idea of how to approach the process.\n1.  Decide what type of information is important for you to know in order to maintain a healthy bank account. While a large purchase or ATM transaction alert may be helpful to some, others may prefer to receive alerts only when their balance dips below a certain amount.\n2.  To set up your alerts, sign into your online banking portal and go to your accounts or account services. Click on \"manage alerts\" (your bank's instructions may be slightly different) and choose the alerts you'd like to receive. If you're setting up alerts for large purchases or low balances, you'll set your alert thresholds at that time.\n3.  Decide how you want to receive your alerts. The three primary ways your bank sends alerts are:\n*   Text message\n*   Email message\n*   Mobile push notification\nOnce you confirm your choices, you'll start receiving alerts. END
