How do I set up account alerts?

Account alerts are usually set up through Coastal Credit Union’s online banking or mobile banking tools. After signing in, look for an Alerts, Notifications, or Settings section, then choose the account you want to monitor and select the types of alerts you want to receive. Common options include low balance warnings, large debit or credit activity, login notices, payment reminders, and transaction updates. You can often choose how the alert is delivered, such as by email, text message, or in app notification. If you do not see the alert options right away, check the current web page for any help links, because many credit unions place setup instructions in their online banking support area. It is also a good idea to confirm that your contact information is current, since alerts depend on having the correct phone number or email address on file. Once saved, some alerts may activate right away, while others may take a short time to begin.
