Banco G&T Continental has introduced a new service called GTCAlertas, aimed at improving the security of its clients’ financial transactions. The tool provides real-time notifications for every transaction made with an account or card, including purchases, withdrawals, transfers, and payments.

GTCAlertas sends automatic alerts to users via mobile phone, email, or push notifications when enabled. According to Banco G&T Continental, the main goal is to keep clients informed instantly about any activity on their accounts no matter where they are.

The system offers several features intended to help users detect suspicious activities immediately and take swift action if needed. It also gives customers comprehensive visibility over the use of their financial products and aims to prevent fraud before losses occur.

Banco G&T Continental emphasizes that prevention is essential in maintaining financial security. "In G&T Continental, we believe that security should not be reactive but proactive. That’s why GTCAlertas operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week, providing constant peace of mind," states the bank.

Some highlighted benefits include continuous protection of funds regardless of location and detailed tracking of every transaction. The immediate detection of unusual movements helps reduce potential losses while giving users more control over their finances.

The bank stresses that safeguarding resources is a shared responsibility between the institution and its customers. It encourages users to activate push notifications through its app settings as the fastest way to receive updates about account activities.

Banco G&T Continental describes GTCAlertas as part of its ongoing commitment to security, transparency, and innovation: "GTCAlertas is part of our commitment to security, transparency and innovation."

Clients are urged not to wait for incidents before taking preventive steps. Activating push notifications can ensure that relevant account movements reach them directly on their mobile devices even if they are not checking emails or messages.

The launch aligns with growing industry trends where banks increasingly provide digital tools for monitoring account activity in response to evolving financial fraud risks.
