I have several credit cards in in my wallet on my iPhone, but only one shows a notification when a charge is made. I received a notification today that there was a charge on this card that was not made by me. I reported it immediately to American Express and had the charge removed, but I would like to know how to turn notifications like this on for my other cards. Thanks for any help.

I think that's a feature each credit card issuer has to implement. My AMEX did that (via the iOS app) before Apple had Apple Pay or let folks add card to the Wallet. The best I can get with my Discover is a text message. :/

Thanks for the reply. Just out of curiosity how did you get your Discover card to text you?

That's an awesome feature from Amex. I have my Amex card in Apple Pay as much for those notifications as anything.

Some of the card apps allow notifications, such as the BofA App. Here's what I have set up in the BofA app:

I believe OLAM on the BofA web site also allows text message notifications, if that's your preference.
