E-statements really are the way to go.
An electronic statement, or e-statement, is a copy of your American 1 statement that’s created electronically instead of printed on paper. It’s stored as a PDF, a type of universal file type, that can be viewed using Adobe’s Acrobat Reader, a free download.
When you sign up for e-statements, you no longer receive a mailed copy. Instead, when you want to view your statement, you log on to our home banking system to view it. The benefit is you can view your statement wherever you have an Internet connection.
First, to get started, you need to sign up for A1@home. You can do that by stopping in to any branch, or by sending in your signature over fax or by mail (call for details). After that, signing up for e-statements is easy.
After logging in to the A1@home system, click on the History tab (above), and then click on “eStatements.”
Next, enter your e-mail address into the box and click “Enroll me now!” Make sure you read the text on this screen before entering your e-mail address.
At the bottom of the screen, you can see the buttons leading you to Adobe’s free Acrobat Reader. If you don’t have a version of Acrobat on your computer, make sure you download it so you can view your e-statements.
On the next screen, click the “I Accept!” button.
The above screen is your confirmation that you have signed up with your current e-mail address. That’s all there is to it!
From now on, when you want to view your statements, log in to A1@home, click the History tab, and choose “eStatements.” You’ll see the above screen. Simply click “Get my e-statement” to see your e-statements.
Just remember that you will no longer receive your mailed paper statement, but you can print out your e-statement anytime you want. Even better? You can view and print out check copies for free.
If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to get a hold of us!
