There are several possible reasons email notifications might not be showing up in your inbox. The most common reason is because it has ended up in your Spam or Junk folder. Make sure to check those folders first.

A whitelist is a list of approved or safe email addresses to help a spam filter determine whether it should allow delivery. If you are on your recipient’s whitelist, you can guarantee your emails will be received. If you want to make sure you receive messages from a certain person or company, you simply need to manually add them as a contact.

Try adding no-reply@app.finmo.ca as a trusted email to your email platform.
