Security Alert

Security Alert is a service provided by Centrix in partnership with service providers who have suffered a data breach.  Security Alert assists people affected by a data breach by monitoring their Centrix credit report and notifying them if any activity occurs on their credit report.

How does Security Alert assist me?

Many service providers credit check new customers when they apply for credit – for instance when taking out a loan, applying for finance or opening a new power or broadband account.  If your information has been exposed by a data breach, you may be at risk of credit or identity fraud. Credit fraud occurs when someone else tries to use your identity to apply for credit in your name

Security Alert allows you to monitor your Centrix credit report and take action if any unexpected activity occurs on your report. It is quick and easy to set up online and assures you peace of mind. Once Security Alert has been activated, Centrix will notify you when activity occurs on your Centrix credit report.

How much and for how long?

Security Alert is a complimentary service as we have partnered with your service provider as part of the support they are providing you due to the data breach they have suffered. It will be provided to you for 12-months from the day you make your request to set up Security Alert with Centrix.
