How it works
Three steps to total card awareness
Setup takes about two minutes. Your bank credentials never touch our servers.
Link your cards
Connect your bank securely through Plaid, the same service trusted by Venmo and American Express. You sign in on your bank's own page.
Pick your alerts
Push, email, or SMS. Set minimum amounts so small charges stay quiet, and quiet hours so nights stay silent.
Catch everything
Every swipe, subscription renewal, and online charge — the moment your bank reports it.
Features
Built for people who hate surprises
Real-time push alerts
Usually within seconds of your bank reporting the transaction.

Balance included
Every alert can show your current balance right in the notification.
Quiet hours
Silence alerts overnight, catch up with the morning summary.

Security
Your credentials stay with your bank.
CardAlerts connects through Plaid — you sign in on your bank's own page, and we receive only read-only transaction data. Access tokens are encrypted with AWS Key Management Service. We never sell your data, and notification history is deleted after 90 days. CardAlerts cannot move money, block charges, or change anything in your accounts.

Usually within seconds of your bank reporting the transaction. Exact speed varies by institution.
Can I stop SMS messages?
Yes — reply STOP to any message, or turn SMS off in the app. Message and data rates may apply; frequency varies with your card activity.
How do I delete my data?
Account Settings → Delete Account. All bank connections are revoked immediately and your data is deleted within 30 days.
