Electronic Statement FAQs
Electronic statements
With the world going digital more and more every day, you might want to consider jumping on the electronic bandwagon. Here’s why:
- Electronic statements will save you time from digging through your files to find paper statements. They’ll all be stored in one place.
- No more waiting by your mailbox for statements to arrive. You will have earlier access to your statements on any device each month.
- Lose the reading glasses. You can zoom in and out for easier reading.
- We retain 7 years of statements for you, which frees up space in your home or office.
- You will be doing your part by going green and reducing our carbon footprint (sounds like reason enough to us!).
Now for the tough love. Beginning August 1, 2021, a $5 fee will be charged each month for printing and mailing your paper statements. Sign up for electronic statements by July 31, 2021 to avoid this fee. (Heritage members will not be charged this fee).
