You will receive this Alert once your available credit/spending limit is within the amount at which you set to be notified. For example, if you choose to be notified when you are within £300 of your credit/spending limit and your limit is £1,000, you will receive the Alert when your balance totals £700 or greater. Please note that charges and authorisations are included in calculating your available credit/spending.

The available credit/spending in the Alert is based on real-time charge and authorisation information for your account. Since information on our website is updated daily you may see different information until your next update.
