Real Time Debit Card Fraud Alerts

Your Security Is Our Top Priority

Debit Card Fraud Alerts* help protect you from potential fraud by immediately sending you a text message when we detect suspicious activity on your Centra debit card. If we do not have your mobile number on file, we will attempt to contact you by phone.

Fraud Alerts are texted from the number 37268. (Protip: add to your contacts as Centra Fraud Alert)

If suspicious activity is detected on your Centra debit card, and we have your mobile number on file, we will send you a real-time text message like this:
