Enabling push notifications in digital banking

12/15/21

Push notifications are tappable pop-up messages that will notify you of activity through the Digital Banking mobile app. Notifications will appear in the notification center, a lock screen, or in the top section of a mobile device.

With push notifications, now you can:

  • Have alerts sent via Push in addition to SMS or Email
  • Receive notifications when you travel internationally, as long as you have an internet connection
  • Tap the message to launch the Digital Banking mobile banking app

Use the options below to explore Frequently Asked Questions about Push Notifications.
