Credit Monitoring & Alerts

Credit Monitoring & Alerts

Overview:
Credit monitoring keeps users informed about any changes in their credit profile. Alerts notify them instantly about potential risks such as identity theft, new inquiries, or significant score changes.

What are Alerts?

Alerts are real-time notifications that keep you informed about important changes related to your credit, identity, and account activities. These alerts ensure you never miss critical updates, such as changes to your credit report, suspicious activity, or reminders about due payments.

How to Set Up Alerts

  1. Log in to your CreditVana account (via web or mobile app).

  2. Navigate to Settings > Notifications & Alerts.

  3. Choose your preferred notification channel:

    • Email

    • SMS

    • Mobile App Push Notification

  4. Select the types of alerts you want to receive (Credit, Identity, Account, Loan Offers).

  5. Click Save Preferences to activate.

Pro Tip

We recommend enabling both Email + App Push Notifications so you always stay updated, even if you miss one channel.
