M&T Alerts , gives you real-time monitoring
M&T Bank Alerts are available for your M&T Card through M&T Online Banking. Suspicious activity alerts notify customers of certain potentially fraudulent activity on their M&T Card. Alerts are designed to be a helpful account management tool, but they do not identify all potential fraudulent activity and are not a substitute for security and fraud precautions including, but not limited to, verifying statements and being aware of your outstanding payments and available balance. For your protection, “suspicious activity” and “card PIN change” email alerts cannot be disabled. M&T Bank is not liable for any losses customers may incur due to an alert not being delivered. Your mobile carrier's text messaging and data charges may apply.
Use of these features and services requires Internet and/or data access through a computer or mobile device.

Beware of fake alerts

Pretexting is a scam where a criminal impersonates a business like a bank to win your trust. Their intent is to create panic and lure you into divulging personal information.

Don't share personal info

When a text message asks for personal information, is unsolicited, contains hyperlinks or has obvious spelling or grammatical errors, it is most likely fake.
