Click the “Delete”

image next to the eAlert you would like to stop receiving. This will remove this eAlert from your account. To stop receiving all eAlerts simply delete each eAlert you are signed up for.

12. How many eAlerts am I allowed to sign up for?
There is absolutely no limit to the number of eAlerts you can sign up for. You can sign up for multiple types of eAlerts as well as sign up multiple times for each type of eAlert.

For Example, you can set up a low balance eAlert to be notified at home anytime your checking account balance drops below $200.00. You can then sign up for another low balance eAlert and have it email your cell phone anytime your account balance drops below $50.00.

Items to Note:
Notify Me: First time only will only send the email the first time the event happens.

• Example: If you set a low-balance eAlert for $10,000.00 and you only have $250.00 in your account, for First Time Only notification, it’s only going to send the alert once your balance is above $10,000.00 and then as the result of a transaction falls below the $10,000.00 threshold.

Minimum Balance & All Monetary Fields: all monetary fields must have the decimal places present. If you wish to set a minimum balance for $100, then the cents *must be included* or else the eAlert will not function as you intend it to.
