Credit cards with transaction notification?

I've just changed my current account to Starling and I now get a push notification for any money going into or out of the account.

This seems a very good idea for spotting fraud and I was wondering if there are any credit cards out there that do the same? It would also save me from having to read my statement if I can watch the transactions as they go!

    I have not seen this - how do you set it up? I can see pending transactions if I log in, but no push alerts (which would be cool, I agree). Closest is Amex via Android Pay.

  • Transactions using MBNA credit card appear almost instantly in Pending, not the same as Push, I accept.

    If you download the Amex app to an iPhone it will give you transaction notifications. If you also put the Amex card into Apple Pay you'll sometimes get two.

    Looks like the Android Amex app does not currently offer this.

  • MrPez, I was just wondering the same!
    A push notification to an Android phone would be great; text or email alerts would be better than nothing.

    MBNA and Barclaycard give you emails/sms when money is received.

    Barclaycard definitely support more options, balance changes , etc.
  • No credit card sends push notifications via an app, right?
    Is there any which can send texts or emails to notify of every single transaction?

    Thanks for the info folks, sorry for the silence - my account was locked for a while.
    Good to know I'm not the only one looking for this, hopefully it'll be an option soon with some provider
