Slightly unrelated, but I do this for everything involving my personal finances. All of my credit cards have mobile apps that instantly push notifications whenever they are used. My bank app sends me notifications for any withdrawal or deposit. I even have alerts for my investments. I guess I'm just adamant in knowing exactly where (and when) my money comes or goes.

I was really happy when all my cards/banks started offering options like this. I essentially never have to go over my statements and transaction history with a fine-toothed comb anymore, because it's so so so easy to notice a fraudulent transaction immediately as it happens.
