Have you considered going paperless?

By switching to online statements, you can manage your account easily while reducing mail and paper cluttering your desk. Plus, when you stop your monthly credit card account statements, you can help the environment by reducing paper consumption. Go Paperless now!

When you go paperless, you can:

View the same information that’s on your official paper statement.
Receive monthly e-mail notification when your new official statement is available to view online.
Decrease the possibility of mail fraud and identity theft.

What’s the difference between an official statement & online statement summary?

Your online statement summary contains most of the same details about charges, credits and payments as the official statement you receive by post each month. However, it does not include all of the information that is on your official statement such as account disclosures or statement messages, so it is important to review your official statement.

I wonder who would click on the link to the statement when nothing in the email indicates which company is sending you the email?
