Smart Spend Alerts
Define rules once. JapanETCcard pings you the moment ETC activity drifts outside expected patterns — threshold breaches, weekends, after-hours, dormant cards.
1 · How it starts
The problem it solves
ETC card surprises — a high toll spike, unusual weekend usage, an after-hours run, a dormant card suddenly active — typically only surface when the monthly bill arrives. By then the moment has passed and reconciling the activity is harder than it needed to be.

How it works
It runs on a clean, simple cycle.
Who uses it
Same technology, three use cases.
A parent sets a ¥3,000/day cap for the family car. When a kid's weekend trip exceeds it, the parent gets a same-morning email — not a surprise weeks later.
Available on the JapanETCcard ↔ Japan Toll Receipts bridge.
A logistics manager sets after-hours alerts for delivery cards. When a card shows 2 AM activity outside policy, the dispatcher gets a flag and can follow up before the next shift.
Available on the JapanETCcard ↔ Japan Toll Receipts bridge.
A transportation office sets weekend-usage alerts for official vehicles. Weekend activity (which should be rare) immediately surfaces in the manager review queue for audit.

FAQ
Common questions
Can I silence alerts during low-usage periods?
Yes. Schedule quiet hours per rule, or pause specific alerts entirely while the cause is investigated.
Are alerts in real time?
Alerts run on the same daily cadence as the MEISAI data pull — typically the morning after the activity occurred.
Does this replace bank or card fraud monitoring?
No. JapanETCcard alerts are an early-awareness layer for ETC-specific patterns, not a replacement for card-issuer fraud monitoring.
