Can I set up alerts for transactions on my First Direct account?

Asked 4 months ago
Yes, First Direct offers a feature that allows customers to set up alerts for various transactions and account activities. These alerts can help you stay informed about your account balance, large transactions, and any unusual activity. Customers can typically customize the types of alerts they wish to receive, which may include alerts for deposits, withdrawals, and other specified transactions. To set up these alerts, users usually need to access their online banking platform or mobile application. There, one can navigate to the settings or alerts section to adjust preferences according to individual needs. It is important to note that the options may vary, so checking the current website or the help section can provide specific instructions tailored to a user’s account.
