There is no bank that doesn't provide bank
alert services to their customers. It is one of the ways they have devised to
make money. While some customers have activated the alert, others haven't
perhaps because they don't see the need for it. Even those who have activated a
bank alert don't see the value. All they see are greedy banks deducting a
certain amount from their accounts at the end of the month for the service. But
this is not the case at all. There are lots of benefits to receiving mobile
bank alerts. Jumia Travel, the online travel agency shares some of these
benefits.
You
know when deposits are posted
You go to the bank and pay in some money
into your account, you expect that when such money is eventually paid into your
account, it is expected that your bank sends you the alert. It may be delayed.
But if it doesn't arrive, you should probably contact your bank to find out
why.
Prevents
fraud and theft
If there is fraud or any irregular
activities/changes in your bank account, you will get an alert especially when
money is deducted from your account without your authorization. You can
immediately take action before your account is emptied.
You
are up-to-date on your account activities
With a bank alert, you can keep track of
all you account activities. The deposits and withdrawals as well as other
deductions your bank make. Also, it can also serve as proof that you actually
sent or received a certain amount.
Get
reminders
Another benefit of an SMS bank alert is
that you will get reminders and other relevant information. For example, you
get reminders about when your ATM card will expire. You will also get birthday
wishes from your bank.
Keeps
you sane
Alert keeps you sane particularly when you
are expecting some emergency cash. This is because if you don't get the alert
you may become very worried and end up getting yourself unnecessarily worked
up. The money may have hit your account but the alert is just been delayed by
network issues. Just avoid checking your phone every second.
