I'm trying to set up an alert on my Santander Edge account so that when my wife or I use our debit card I get an alert on my phone of the amount spent so I don't have to bother about receipts but that option does not seem to be available.

Is it available and I just can't see it?

    Not sure you can? I’ve set up alerts for when account balance drops below a set amount but can’t see that you can get notice every time the card is used. I get this on my Chase account and it’s particularly useful as a quick double-check that the traders not input £40 instead of £4.

    You can set up an alert for maxim amount debited, that doesn't stop it it just tells you when that amount is exceeded. 

    Set it low enough and maybe you will get an alert on every spend

    The lowest you can set it is £50.00.
    I just wanted alerts when I or my wife used it for small amounts so I could easily enter the amounts in my spreadsheet without collecting receipts.
