Brella – Card Manager
Brella is a debit card protection app that sends users alerts when their card is used, allowing them to quickly detect unauthorized or fraudulent activity on their account. Users can choose to receive alerts via text or email. The app also provides the ability to check account balances, turn the card on and off, send money to other users, and find nearby ATMs. Alerts are provided for purchases exceeding user-set dollar amounts, card-not-present purchases, and suspicious or high-risk transactions. Users can also define when, where, and how their debit card can be used by setting blocks for transactions exceeding a specific dollar amount, internet and phone transactions, and transactions conducted outside of the U.S. The app also includes features such as Quick Balance for checking account balances without logging in, Touch ID for secure and quick fingerprint sign-on, and the ability to submit a Travel Notice to inform the financial institution of scheduled travel. It is important to note that Brella is powered by SHAZAM and requires activation through specific financial institutions. Users should check with their financial institution to ensure they subscribe to Brella and participate in optional features before downloading the app.
