Why wasn't my Account Alert delivered?
Please review the following checklist to help identify the solution:

  • Account Alerts are emailed when the selected activity clears the corresponding account. Please verify the selected activity has cleared your account.
  • Has your email address changed? Review the Alert information to ensure the most up-to-date email address is on file.
  • Have you made any changes to the Alert recently? Review the Alert to ensure your Alert looks correct.
  • Alerts are delivered between 8:00 AM and 8:30 AM CST. If your Alert was not delivered today, is it within this time frame?
  • Please check your SPAM folder within your email. Has your Alert been delivered but caught by your SPAM filter? If so, please add AccountAlerts@americanchartered.com to your safe list.
  • Is your email box full? If so, your Account Alert may not be delivered.
