More information

You can choose a combination of up to three email or mobile alert destinations. There are a couple things to bear in mind when setting up alerts:

  • Some account alerts require at least one destination be an email address.
  • Trust, Agency, Custody, or IRA accounts with Ascent Private Capital Management, U.S. Bank Private Wealth Management or U.S. Wealth Management (U.S. Bancorp Investments) needs the same alert destinations for all accounts with paperless statement delivery.
