EAST LANSING, Mich. Michigan State University FCU has introduced eAlerts, real-time notifications sent by email or text message to members based on the recurring or one-time information they choose to receive regarding account-specific or general credit union information.
The free eAlerts, developed in-house, allow members to have more control over their accounts, prevent fraud, and benefit from the convenience of quickly receiving any information they need regarding their accounts.
Members can choose to receive account-specific eAlerts including notifications when an account’s balance falls below a certain threshold, if a loan payment is coming due, or when a check clears the member’s account. eAlerts are also available with information such as financial tips, rate changes, and upcoming credit union events and seminars.
“With nearly 20% of MSUFCU members living outside the state of Michigan, services like eAlerts provide additional, convenient ways for all our members to manage their accounts no matter where they’re located,” said Patrick McPharlin, president of the $2.4 billion credit union.
The credit union is hosting a special Text to Win contest for its members to promote eAlerts. Members may text texttowin to 678328 by June 30, to enter to win an iPad Mini or one of eight iTunes gift cards.
