Account Alerts & Text Banking

Account Alerts

Set up eAlerts to monitor balances, transactions and activity on your account. Finding out you have a low balance may even help you avoid overdraft fees!

Receive an email or text notification on activity like these and more:

• Balance alerts (If your available balance falls below or reaches an amount you selected.)
  
• Transaction alerts (When withdrawals or deposits over a specified amount are made.)
  
• Security Alerts (If your password, email address or other personal information has been changed.) 
  

Enroll in eAlerts under the Services tab of Online Banking. After you enter your email address and/or cell phone information, you'll select Add Alert to choose the alerts you would like to receive.

You may also enroll in a more condensed version of eAlerts through our PHCU mobile app. You must enroll in Text Banking (also located in our app) before you can set up condensed alerts through PHCU's mobile app.

Alerts are sent hourly from 6:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. For more information or if you need assistance enrolling, please call 803-978-2101 option 5.
