Suspicious Transaction Alerts

Got a pop-up about a suspicious charge? Here’s what to do.

Updated today

Why you got an alert:

Atlas may flag a transaction if:

  • It's outside your normal spending pattern

  • It's from a high-risk merchant

  • It's in a different country from your usual activity

  • It triggered a security check for any other reason

You’ll see a pop-up in the app asking if the charge was really you.

What to do

You'll be given two options:

  • Yes, it was me — We’ll approve the charge and similar ones going forward

  • No, report it — We’ll block the charge and start investigating. Please note, for your safety this will also pause your account.

If you need help, contact Support — we’ll take care of it and follow up if needed.

Is my card still safe?

Yes, but it is important to alert us if you see any suspicious activity on your account.

You can always:

  • Check your card status: Card tab > Physical & Virtual Card

  • Pause it manually if you’re unsure

  • Request a new card if needed
