Payment Alerts
Payment Alerts allow you to create and manage alerts that monitor payments received by both expenditure and frequency. Alerts allow you to have increased visibility for piece of mind.
If enabled - after each successful payment a check will be initiated to see if the Payor, in combination with past payments has breached any of the active alerts. Payments can only trigger an alert type once.
