myID Financial Alerts help you ensure your credit, finances and identity are secure. We alert you when your personal information is used on a new application for credit or services.
How Financial Monitoring Works:
Your information is input into the myID Network, which scans billions of financial events and transactions in real time.
If your information is used in an application within the network you are instantly alerted via SMS or email.
You'll have the opportunity to verify whether or not you authorized the application.
If you did not authorize the application, our expert staff will work with financial institutions to help you resolve the event.
Why Use myID Financial Alerts:
myID Financial Alerts are your best defense against identity theft and protection from credit fraud. You will receive an email or SMS INSTANTLY to alert you when your information is used on a new application for credit.
How Investigation and Resolution Works:
If you receive a myID Financial Alert for an account you personally opened, simply dismiss the alert from your dashboard. If you receive an alert for an account you don't recognize, we will investigate the incident for you, and work with creditors on your behalf to help minimize financial damage.
Learn More About Your Risk Level
Your myID Risk Level assesses your risk of identity theft. It is not reflective of your credit score, rather a measure of your risk of being a victim of identity fraud or theft.
myID Risk Level fall into three main categories of risk: low, moderate and high.
A low risk level indicates that there is not a strong likelihood of you being a victim of ID theft. However, it is not a guarantee and we recommend you continue to monitor your financial information with myID instant alerts to ensure the safety of your identity.
A moderate or high risk level indicates a higher possibility of your identity being at risk of theft. We recommend paying attention to your myID privacy and financial alerts and taking recommended actions to help keep your personal information out of the hands of those looking to commit identity fraud.
