5 Great Reasons to Switch to eStatements Today
#1: Save Some Trees and Help the Environment
When you go paperless, the environmental benefits of eStatements go beyond saving trees—because it takes energy to turn a tree into paper and more energy to get that paper to our printers (and even more energy to get that paper all the way to your mailbox). Last year, Salal members who use eStatements helped save:
- Over 379,500 sheets of paper.
- Over 30,200 of CO2 emissions.
- Over 39,900 of water.
- 44.6 million BTUs of total energy (equivalent to 53 residential refrigerators operated for a whole year).

#2: Protect Your Sensitive Information
Another important benefit of eStatements is that they offer enhanced security compared to paper statements. When you receive a paper statement in the mail, it can be lost or stolen, potentially exposing sensitive financial information to criminals. With eStatements, you can access your account info securely in Mobile or Online Banking. Or, to put it another way, the mail thieves can’t steal your statement envelope if there is no envelope.
#3: Faster Delivery
Last time we checked, the good folks at USPS can’t travel at the speed of light. However (see where we’re going here?), when your latest eStatement is ready, it will show up in Mobile and Online Banking just about instantly.
#4: Instant Access to 12 Months of Statements
Speaking of not waiting, when you enroll in eStatements you get 24/7 access to your last 12 months of Salal statements, ready to view, download, or print. Plus, a paper statement can be misplaced (or have coffee spilled on it or be carried away by a sudden gust of wind). Meanwhile, your eStatements will be right there waiting for you, neatly organized by month, definitely not drenched with coffee.
#5: Get a Chance to Win $500
Yeah, we know we already mentioned this one. But hey, with three chances to win, it’s worth saying it twice.
