Enabling Scotiabank Alerts allows you, as a Scotia OnLine and/ or Scotia Mobile customer, to receive notifications about transactional activity on your account(s) via push notifications on the Scotiabank Mobile App or via email. Push notifications allow your smartphone to receive message alerts even when the device's screen is locked and the application that is pushing the notification is closed.
This empowers you to monitor and flag any activity on your account(s).
In order to receive Scotiabank Alerts, you’ll need to download the new Scotiabank Mobile App and enable App notifications in the device settings.
