At American Riviera Bank, we’re always looking for ways to help you stay financially safe, confident, and in control. That’s why we’re excited to share a new resource available to all Carefull users—the Carefull Companion App.
This mobile app is designed to make financial safety simple and accessible for families—delivering real‑time protection, scam prevention, and on‑demand support right from your phone. Whether you’re managing your own accounts or helping loved ones stay safe, the Companion App brings peace of mind to your fingertips.
Financial threats move fast—the companion app is faster.
The Carefull Companion App sends instant alerts for anything out of the ordinary, including unusual account activity, identity breaches, or credit changes. You’ll know what happened, why it matters, and the steps to take next—all in plain language.
You can also customize your alert settings with a tap—turn categories on or off, or select only the notifications that matter most to you.


Not sure if a text, email, or photo looks suspicious? The app’s built‑in ScamCheck tool allows you to upload questionable messages directly from your phone.
Within seconds, ScamCheck reviews the content, explains whether it’s likely a scam, and guides you on what to do next.
Financial concerns can be stressful, especially if something looks off. With the Companion App, help is always one tap away.
You’ll have direct access to Carefull’s professional, U.S.‑based Care Team via live chat or phone—ready to offer expert, compassionate guidance anytime you need reassurance or advice.

If you haven’t enrolled in Carefull yet, now is the perfect time.
This service—valued at $299 per year—is available free of charge for American Riviera Bank clients.
