What are NAB Alerts?

NAB Alerts can help you keep up to date with your personal finances via an alert straight to your mobile or email.

If you have an eligible NAB account, you can request to receive the NAB Alerts at no charge.

Balance alerts

This alert is when you schedule your account balance to be emailed to you weekly, fortnightly, or monthly. You can also select to receive your alerts at 8am, 11am, 2pm, or 5pm (AEST/AEDT).

Information contained in the NAB Alert will be current at the time we create the alert rather than as at the time of receipt or delivery. If delivery of the message is delayed by your mobile phone provider or email service provider, the balance may be out of date.

Credit card payment reminder alerts

You can set up this alert to get credit card payment reminders up to 7 days before the payment is due, either via email or SMS.

These alerts are intended as a reminder and aren’t a substitute for checking payment due dates and your statements. We’ll only send you a credit card alert reminder when you have a minimum payment due.

Funds transfer alerts

You can set up this alert to receive SMS notifications of the success or failure of NAB Internet Banking funds transfers. You can also request to send an SMS alert to another mobile number about the success of the payment.

Eligibility for NAB Alerts

To be eligible to receive NAB Alerts, you must have one of the following accounts:

Personal transaction accounts

Get started

To sign up to NAB Alerts you must be registered for NAB Internet Banking with a primary NAB ID, have an eligible account and be an account holder of the nominated account(s).

Once you have signed up to NAB alerts you will then be able to receive up to date alerts on your phone or by email.

NAB Alerts can be used with all Australian mobile phones and mobile service providers. You can only activate NAB Alerts on one phone and email address at a time.

Your credit card alert reminder will only be sent when you have a minimum payment due. These alerts are intended as a reminder and are not a substitute for checking payment due dates and your statements.
