My bank's fraud alerts went from useless to super sharp in about a year.

I used to get maybe one vague email a quarter, but now I get instant texts for any weird online purchase. I think they finally upgraded their AI systems. Do you think these new systems are too sensitive, or is the extra security worth the occasional false alarm?

My credit union in Ohio started using Plaid and the alerts are crazy fast now. I'd rather confirm a weird charge than fight fraud for months.

Plaid doesn't send the alerts, your bank does.

Saw my friend get a text and stop a bad charge before it even went through.
