A Reminder on Your Alerts
If you haven't already, take a moment to log into Business Online Banking and review your settings under Settings > Alerts. Your existing Cash Manager alerts were migrated during Tuesday's system maintenance, but it's worth confirming they still meet your business's needs — and checking out any new alert options while you're there.
