Abstract
Disclosed is a system for notifying a user of account activity, such as a withdrawal from a savings or checking account. A computer system maintains information on financial accounts and electronic user contact information for at least one of the financial accounts, such as a telephone number, e-mail address or pager number. Information on a transaction with respect to one of the financial accounts is received and processed. The computer system then processes the information on the transaction and generates an electronic message providing information on the transaction. The user contact information for the financial account involved in the transaction is processed. The message is then electronically transmitted to the location identified by the user contact information for the financial account.
