Monitoring Services

As mentioned above, Fifth Third Identity Alert offers comprehensive 24/7 credit report monitoring and social security number monitoring along with monthly credit reports from all three credit bureaus as part of its identity protection services.

The company's service will also monitor up to three of the consumer's current or past mailing addresses, three phone numbers, and three email addresses. This level of monitoring can help customers better secure their personal information. 

Customers who have a Fifth Third Bank checking account or other banking account may be eligible to receive a discount on the company's identity protection service.

Fifth Third Identity Alert also monitors registered credit card and debit card activity and customers' social security numbers on the internet as added protection against identity thieves.

Identity Theft Insurance

In the event of identity theft or fraud, Fifth Third Bank identity alert account customers will be covered by up to $1 million in identity theft insurance.

This policy covers and reimburses customers for expenses related to the theft including costs and lost wages as well as legal fees and expenses.

Additionally, those who have Fifth Third Identity Alert accounts can easily obtain online fraud assistance and identity fraud support.

Online Member Portal

Consumers can log into their Fifth Third Identity Alert accounts by visiting the Fifth Third Identity Alert website. To access their account, it appears that consumers only need to visit the website's member login portal and input a single username.

Limited Recovery Services

Fifth Third Bank identity alert services offer little in the way of identity restoration.

Although the company does provide lost wallet assistance to those who become a victim of identity theft, Fifth Third Bank identity alert does not appear to help with financial, medical, criminal, or tax identity fraud recovery.

It's important for potential customers to know that many other companies in the industry offer such recovery services. 

No Antivirus Software

Fifth Third Bank does not seem to provide its customers with antivirus software as part of its identity protection service.

Customers who wish to protect their computers from malicious viruses and other related suspicious activity must get their own software.

Lack of Website Information

While many other identity theft protection services are fairly transparent online, Fifth Third Identity Alert is not. The company's website does not offer enough information on its website regarding prices, service features and details, plan options, and more.

Those who are interested in the Fifth Third Identity Alert service must contact the company directly to obtain this important information.
