Specifically does B of A, chase, Discover, or any of the major players offer this service? I never use my card, and I'd like an email whenever it gets used.
Does any bank offer a credit card service to send you an email confirmation each time your card gets used?
Good question-!!
Either one (banks or the networks) should come up with that option. Visa came up with "Verified by Visa". Instant e-mail notifications on transactions as an option, is a great idea.
Either one could easily cover the infrastructure costs. Credit bureaus charge membership fees for 24/7 credit monitoring with e-mail notifications when changes occur but, where am I going with that?
To begin with, I'm not sure if "any insiders" even thought of that. They should read this post but not the part that you said, "I never use my card"....ha-ha. It would imply, they're not gonna make any money off you. (i-e: so why bother).
It is a matter of security. Keep suggesting to banks or Visa,MC, Amex,DC. These payment methods are popular by the minute.
EDIT: Visa came up with $0 liability protection a few years back on all their USA issued cards.(debit and credit). In that case, it would help them in order that card holders get to know any unauthorized transactions immediately as they happen (not a few days online or at a statement weeks later). Other companies, if not, may well follow suit.
Reply:Oh, I checked lately %26amp; Bank of America checking has that now as one of their alerts when chosen for the card.
IngDirect Electric Orange account was also telling something like that. But not sure about 'em. I'm only saving with them. Report Abuse
