Alerts

What are alerts?

Alerts are notices sent by Desert Financial directly to your phone which contain important information about your registered account(s). You define which alerts you want to see and when you want to be notified.

What is the difference between alerts and text banking?

Alerts are notices sent by Desert Financial directly to your mobile device, which contain important information about your registered account(s). You define which alerts you want to see and when you want to be notified. Text Banking allows you to conduct banking transactions using text messages from your mobile device.

What alerts are available for my account?

Log into the desktop version of Online Banking and select Settings from the drop-down menu next to your name in the top-right corner of the screen. Click on the Notifications tab. You will be able to view and change alerts from this tab.

How do I set up or manage my alerts?

Once you have activated your accounts and assigned nicknames to each account, you can set up alerts. You can manage alerts in the Mobile Banking & Alerts tab in Online Banking at DesertFinancial.com.

How long will it take for my alerts to become active?

After you enroll in or make any changes to your account alerts, it will be 24-48 hours before the alert is active and you begin to receive messages.
