We don’t offer overdraft protection, so it’s important to keep enough money in your account before making payments.

One way to stay ahead is to set up . This lets you know when your balance drops below a set amount.

How to turn on low balance alerts:
1. Open the Novo app
2. Tap Account
3. Choose Settings
4. Choose Low Balance Alert
5. Turn on alerts and set your limit
6. Tap Save

You’ll get a notification when your balance falls below that limit.
