Once transaction limits have been set, each time the card is used outside the transaction limit, the account holder will receive an email to inform them of the breach.

If the account holder has opted to ‘Decline & Alert’ transactions that do not adhere to a card's transaction limits, the transaction will decline at the point of sale and the cardholder will also receive an email alert of the breach.
