App summary

Brella helps you protect your debit card by sending you alerts when your card is used so you can quickly detect unauthorized or fraudulent activity on your account. Users have the option to receive text or email alerts. You can also check your account balance anytime, turn your card off and on, send money to other users and find nearby ATMs.

Alerts are provided for:
• Purchases exceeding dollar amounts you set
• Card-not-present purchases
• Suspicious or high-risk transactions

With this app, you have the ability to define when, where and how your debit card can be used. Users can set blocks for:
• Transactions exceeding a specific dollar amount
• Internet and phone transactions
• Transactions conducted outside of the U.S.

Turn your debit card off/on
This control can be used to disable a lost or stolen card, prevent fraudulent activity and control spending.

More great features
- Users can check their balance without logging into the app with the Quick Balance feature
- Users can choose to enable Touch ID, a secure and quick way to sign on with your fingerprint so you don’t have to type in a password
- Users can submit a Travel Notice to inform their financial institution of any scheduled travel

User reviews
I got this back when it was Shazam Bolt and it worked great even after it switched to Brella. It has alerted me to fraud but now I have a new card and it won't let me log in because it said my user name or password was incorrect. I tried changing it and it wanted me to verify a pin to a card that is no longer valid. I couldn't add my new card. And I couldn't start over because I needed a new email address. Very frustrating for something that used to work.

This app isn't bad, it works well. BUT!! I wish I could see my transactions, not just my balance! Isn't the point of the app, convenience!? See the problem is my bank only has this app to use so therefore being able to actually see my transactions would be helpful.

So far not a fan of this app. I have spent the last 20 minutes trying to get past the pin number check. It approves my pin and then refuses to connect to the server. Makes me wonder how reliable it will be if I actually start using it. I will ask my bank to find an alternative that they can recommend.
