Keep tabs on your spending while shopping

Set up individual notifications in the UBS Mobile Banking App so you always know what’s going on with your account and cards. Be notified when you make a payment or when you go over a defined limit. Ideal for all those of us always tempted to spend more on Secret Santa than the agreed ten francs.
