Access request notifications

When an emergency contact makes a request to access the account, the account owner may:

  • Approve the request, which grants you immediate access to the account;
  • Not respond, which means that you'll have access to the account after the waiting period expires
  • Decline the request, which means that you won't have access to the account, and you will no longer be an emergency contact for the account owner.
