Why can't I turn off email notifications?

I am surprised that no one has asked this before - or at least it didn't find a relevant answer when I asked the question.

I want to turn off ALL email notifications.  I much prefer to have them through the mobile app.

But it seems that with some notifications, such as Send Money, I am forced to accept the email notification?  I spend half of my life trying my best to reduce all email, and I don't need to receive an email telling me I just sent money to someone when I just sent it.  I thought of changing my email to an alias and auto-filing it but that is not ideal.

Is there anyway to disable email notifications?  Thanks.

Hi Ayesha - thanks for the response.  I am not able to change the settings according to my preferences.  For Send Money, Receive Money, and Make a Payment in a Store the option to disable email notification does not work.  It says "This can't be turned off". Please advise.
