Do I need to sign up for fraud alert text messages? 

A: No. All debit card customers will be enrolled in this service.

What if I do not want to receive text messages? 

A: When you receive a fraud alert text message there will be an opt out option. 

Will I receive a text message for every transaction?

If I respond yes will my transaction automatically process?

A: No. After you respond "Yes" to the fraud alert text message you will be prompted to attempt the transaction again. 

What if the transaction is not mine?
