Wescom’s Account Alerts Help You Manage Your Money
With Wescom’s Account Alerts, you can keep track of your finances better than ever before, all with the speed of an email or a text message. Plus, your Account Alerts can act as an early warning system, notifying you about possible identity theft or security breaches of your accounts.
Wescom currently offers nine different Account Alerts:
- Account Activity Summary
An alert will be generated every morning with a total amount of the prior day’s deposits, withdrawals and ending balance for the selected account.
- Account Balance Change
An alert will be generated every time the balance on the selected account is over or below the set amount.
- Check Cleared
An alert will be generated one time when the specified check has cleared your account. This alert is available for checking accounts only.
- Check Stop Payment Expiration
An Alert will be generated 10 days before the stop payment request expires and a second and final notification on the day the stop payment becomes void. At that time you may choose to setup a new stop payment request.
- Custom Message
An alert will be generated one time at a specific date/time with your own customized message text.
- Debit/Check Card Purchase
An alert will be generated every time a Debit/Check Card purchase is recorded on the selected account.
- Electronic Deposit
An alert will be generated every time an electronic deposit is received on the selected account.
- Non-Sufficient Funds Check
An alert will be generated every time a check you have written is returned to the payee due to Non-Sufficient Funds (NSF) or due to a hold placed on your account.
Please note that once the check has been returned it cannot be held and re-submitted by Wescom. This alert is intended as an immediate notification, please note that the other Financial Institution may decide to re-submit the item without contacting the payee.
- Withdrawal Notification
An alert will be generated every time a withdrawal over the specified amount is recorded on the selected account.
