Stay on top of your money with Beyond Bank alerts.

An easy way to stay on top of what’s happening with your money is to set up alerts in Internet Banking or your Mobile Banking App.

You can use alerts to let you know about things like:

  • when you get paid
  • unusual or unexpected payments
  • low account balances (which might help you avoid overdrawn fees or failed payments)
  • high account balances (which might help you earn more interest by moving money)
  • when a loan or credit card payment is due.

Beyond Bank’s Internet Banking and Mobile Banking App have a great range of alert features. It’s important to remember that alerts set up in the Beyond Bank Mobile Banking App are free of charge. Alerts set up in Internet Banking use your phone’s SMS service and each SMS alert incurs a fee of $0.26. So, it makes sense to use Mobile Banking alerts if you can. Here are some tips about how to set them up.
