How To Avoid a Paper Statement Fee
Signing up for eStatements is Easy
Oct. 28, 2024
Starting December 31, 2024, PNWFCU will charge a $2 monthly fee for paper statements.
This fee helps offset our increasing costs of printing, processing, and mailing paper statements. You can avoid this fee by switching to electronic eStatements. (Note: Members ages 17 and younger will not be charged a monthly fee for paper statements). The fee will be deducted on the 5th of each month from the checking account, or from another account if you do not have a checking or if the fee would reduce the checking below $0.
To avoid being charged this fee in January, you need to sign up for eStatements by 12pm PST on December 31. After that, you need to sign up for eStatements by 12pm PST on the last business day of the month to avoid being charged the next month. Once you are enrolled, there is nothing else you need to do!
eStatements are Free and Secure
eStatements are stored securely online and are identical to the ones you receive by mail. You’ll get an email notification when your statement is ready to view, and it will be accessible online for 24 months. Plus, you can print them or download copies to your computer if needed.
