Any Banking Software?

I am looking for software that will alert me when a transaction post. I have mobile banking and can go online and look it up but i would rather it just alert me. I have searched but only been able to find software thta allows you to record the transactions as you make them not actually see your online statement.

are there any freeware options

most likely not. A software of that design would require some hefty programming and I can't imagine there being a freeware option. You could definitely try looking here, http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-tag-financ.html .

I know with Chase there's an SMS option for transactions posted. See if that's offered with your bank.

Otherwise, I would recommend using the mobile web interface. I'm sure it'll work if you have a data plan. The trouble is you'll have to log in every time. My credit union supports it and I've used it successfully in the past.

I would think an idea like saqer's would be the way to go. Maybe a call to your bank to see if they have/plan on having/or can at least consider an SMS-based alert system on accounts. I think that would be a great idea for people looking to track certain types of transactions, or just wants 24/7 updates on their account.

The text message won't go through? I would check with your providor then and see if there is a conflict between the two.

P.S. OCD nothing....it IS your money LOL!!!!
