San Francisco-based Wells Fargo ($1.2 trillion in assets) and Visa rolled out Rapid Alerts for Wells Fargo Visa credit cardholders. The free service offers customers near real-time detection of potentially fraudulent activity and helps manage and track spending. Rapid Alerts are enabled by Visa's transaction alerts platform. Alerts are sent on behalf of Wells Fargo directly from VisaNet, Visa's global processing network, typically within seconds of a transaction occurring. By signing up for the service at rapidalerts.wellsfargo.com, customers can choose criteria that trigger alerts, including transactions that exceed a particular dollar amount, transactions initiated internationally, card-not-present transactions and cash withdrawals.
