I echo many of the other thoughts here. I use auto payment from the bank and credit cards. When I set them up, I enable notifications so when any transaction hits my account, I get an email or text.

This is why I use Citizens First Bank. They call me if they get a check for a significant amount or to a person I don’t usually write to. To make sure it was me. No other bank has ever done that.
