# Notifications

Stay informed of important events related to your Adyen account.

Adyen sends you notifications that contain alerts and notices about your accounts, [Adyen's systems](#service-status-messages), and more. The types of notifications we send include the following:

* **Fraud**: Notifications of Fraudulent payments (NOF)
* **Chargebacks**: Notifications of Chargebacks (NOC)
* **Account**: Required account changes

In your [Essentials](https://essentials-live.adyen.com/essentials), you can [configure how you receive notifications](#configure-notification-settings).

## Configure notification settings

You can choose which notifications you get.

1. In your [Essentials](https://essentials-live.adyen.com/essentials), go to **Notification settings**.
2. Under each section, for each type of notification, select the corresponding toggles to enable or disable it for **Email** or **Notification center**.

When the **Email** toggle is enabled, email notifications are sent to the email address linked to your user.

## Service status messages

Service status messages are notifications that give you important information about the status of Adyen's platform, for example scheduled maintenance or service downtime.
