Bank Alerts Guide

What is Bank Alerts?#

Bank Records automatically collects deposit messages from KakaoTalk and major banks (Shinhan, KB, IBK, K Bank, Woori, NH, Hana) so you can view them all on one screen. Register a Bank Alerts channel on the Studio page to use the depositor names and amounts from KakaoTalk and banks as donor names and donation amounts — just like a broadcast channel’s alerts.

How to Install the APK App#

1. Turn off Play Protect scanning — Open the Google Play Store app → tap your profile icon (top right) → Play Protect → settings gear (top right) → turn off ‘Scan apps with Play Protect’. (Re-enable it after installing.)
2. Download the app — On the transfer history page, tap the ‘Download DepositAlert App’ button to get the Donastar_DepositAlert.apk file.
3. Open the install file — Open the downloaded APK from the download notification or your Files app. If prompted to ‘Allow installing apps from this source,’ allow it.
4. Install — Tap ‘Install.’ Even if a device-protection warning appears, choose ‘Install anyway’ to finish.
5. Launch and link — Open the installed app, grant notification access permission, then enter the pairing code from the transfer history page to connect. If the notification-access toggle is blocked as a ‘Restricted setting’ (Android 13+), open Settings → Apps → Deposit Alert → ⋮ (top right) → ‘Allow restricted settings’, then try again.

※ If you skip step 1 (‘Turn off Play Protect scanning’), the install will stop with “App blocked to protect your device.” For security, re-enable Play Protect after installation is complete.

Keep your bank app’s notifications on#

Bank Alerts works by reading the deposit notifications from your bank app (and KakaoTalk) shown on your phone. So if deposit/push notifications are turned off in your bank app’s settings, no notification appears and nothing is collected. If a deposit arrives but isn’t recorded, check that notifications are enabled in your bank app (or KakaoTalk) and that battery saver / battery optimization isn’t blocking that app’s notifications.

Before You Start#

• Requires Premium Lite; to use your deposit amounts as alerts like a broadcast channel, a Premium+ or higher subscription is required. Sign up from the plan cards on the Premium page.
• KakaoTalk and bank-app notification integration must be enabled for messages to be collected automatically. When sending a bank transfer, write ‘nickname/message’ in the ‘recipient memo’ field: the part before ’/’ is the donor nickname and the part after ’/’ is used for trigger matching (with no ’/’, the whole memo is the nickname).

How to View Transfer History#

• Click the Bank Donation History menu in the left sidebar.
• Filter by date range, amount, or sender to narrow down the list.
• Use the pagination below the table to browse older records.

Bank Alert Ideas#

• Ka-ching in your bank = bang on screen (Premium Plus): add Bank Alerts as a broadcast channel with Premium Plus, and the moment a transfer arrives it pops up like a SuperChat — commission-free bank donations get the same flashy alert.
• One goal bar to rule them all (Premium Plus): add it as a broadcast channel with Premium Plus and bank donations feed the ranking, goal, and team battle too — combine platform and bank donations into a single ‘goal reached!’ event.
• Tidy settlement: browse by source, date, amount, sender, and memo — after a stream, reconcile that day’s donations in one view and make month-end accounting painless.
