What are fraud text alerts?

Fraud text alerts are a convenient way to receive detailed notifications if we ever detect suspicious activity on your Gate City Bank debit card. All you need to do is respond to the text message with a “YES” or “NO” to validate or not validate the transaction in question. (Responses are not case-sensitive.)

To receive fraud text alerts, make sure your mobile number is updated in online banking by navigating to “Tools,” then selecting “Settings” and “Contact.” If you’re using the mobile app, tap “More” at the bottom of your screen, then choose “Settings” and “Contact Information.”
