Act quickly on suspicious activity
If any alerts lead you to believe that you are a victim of identity theft, contact us immediately. The sooner you report fraud, the faster we can help and the less likely you'll be responsible for unauthorized transactions.
1.Large Deposit Alert
This alert notifies you when funds of an amount you specify are credited to your account (checking, savings, loan or credit card) —either as a deposit by you or someone else on the account—or as an auto-deposit, such as a paycheck from your employer. In addition to keeping you in the know, this alert is a helpful tracking tool to assist in record keeping.
2.Low Balance Alert
When your checking or savings account balance drops below a predetermined dollar amount, this alert gives you a heads-up via email or text. You get to decide your ‘low balance' threshold. This alert is a great money-management tool that can save you from overspending.
3.Exceeded Budget Alert
This alert is tied into Money Manager, BECU's online money management tool. With Money Manager, you can categorize your spending and establish budget goals and spending limits. Once set up, the Exceeded Budget alert will notify you when you've gone over the amount of money identified for your budget.
