Six reasons to switch to eStatements
Quick, convenient and clutter-free, eStatements are the most secure way to receive your monthly statements.
eStatements look and function the same way as your paper statements: the only difference is that they’re emailed rather than mailed. Once a statement period ends, you’ll receive an email informing you that your statement is ready to view within the online banking platform.
Here are six reasons to consider switching:
1. Check your accounts at a glance
By using eStatements, there’s no need to wait for your monthly statement to arrive in the mail—you can review on a computer or mobile device it as soon as it’s ready .
2. Clear out the clutter
Why bother with piles of paperwork when you can access your accounts digitally? It’s neater and helps cut down on junk flooding your mailbox. Also, save time sorting through papers when you can find your last account cycle balance with just a few quick swipes.
3. Keep your information safer
No matter how careful you are with papers containing sensitive data, there’s always a chance you could miss something that ends up in the wrong hands. With eStatements, you’ll never have to worry about losing a paper that has confidential banking information.
Some people are wary about sending sensitive information online and are fearful that an eStatement can easily be hacked. However, you can access your account balance online with confidence, knowing that credit unions use several layers of protection to keep your information safe.
4. Monitor your accounts for fraud
When you have instant access to your accounts throughout the month, it’s much easier to check for signs of fraud. Plus, the faster it is discovered, the faster you can take steps to stop and fix the damage.
5. Save the trees
When you choose to receive monthly account statements electronically, you’ll be doing the environment a favor. Less paper statements means less paper waste and fewer trees getting felled for something that will ultimately be tossed.
6. Safe and secure storage
Never stress about misplacing your account statements again. Your online banking portal or app acts as a convenient and secure filing cabinet, storing your account statements for access as needed.
