I can't remember: are you outside the US? In the US, banks almost all offer the option of text or email alerts when your credit card or checking or savings is debited(*) by more than an amount you select. This is helpful not just for early warning of fraudulent charges, but also for the cases you mention where a legitimate charge might not make it into your accounting records. (*) It bears repeating: a debit on the bank's books is a credit on the customer's books, and vice versa.
