How to Save Time, Save Postage and See Your Statement Online

Technology has provided us with a number of benefits, including the ability to manage our bank accounts online. One way you can keep tabs on your bank account quickly and easily is through eStatements. Online bank account statements provide a number of benefits:

• Your online statement is available sooner than a paper statement, saving you time.
• You can access your statement from anywhere you have Internet access.
• When you get an online statement, it saves postage for the bank, allowing the bank to use that money to improve services meant for you.
• An online bank statement provides security, helping to prevent your bank statement from ending up in the hands of identity thieves, either through mail fraud or when you throw the statement away.
• You can reduce the clutter in your home, making for one less thing to file.
• It is possible to go back and review your online statement, since it may be stored for up to a year.
• Online statements eliminate the need for paper statements, saving trees and reducing your environmental impact. In a small way, you are helping to make a difference.

Online bank statements are usually secured with high-end encryption, providing very good protection against the unscrupulous. Your information is secure, yet easily accessible. Additionally, your eStatements contain all of the same information found in a paper statement, so you are not missing anything. When your online bank statement is ready, it is simply a matter of going online to view the information.

eStatements are usually a free benefit for those who are signed up for online banking. When you sign up for free online banking, you usually have the option to “Go Paperless”. eStatements provide security and convenience, and are an integral part of online banking, which allows you better control and access to your money.
