Tame the Paper Towers

Are piles of paperwork taking up space while they wait to be filed, organized, burned or SOMETHING? Those interesting, unattended stacks of documents just might invite curious relatives or houseguests to take a quick (or not-so-quick) look. AFTCU has a solution that will free up space and keep prying eyes out of your financial business.

The credit union mails monthly statements to members with checking accounts and quarterly statements to members with savings accounts only. We know, on a personal basis, how quickly those pages stack up. That’s why many ATFCU employees and members have switched to electronically delivered eStatements and eNotices. It’s a great option for anyone who regularly uses a private laptop computer, smart phone or tablet.

eStatements contain the exact information shown on the printed versions. They are delivered to your email as soon as month end processing is completed, meaning no more waiting on snail mail. eStatements can be accessed 24/7, conveniently and instantly, in any location with Internet coverage. If you choose, they can be printed out on your personal printer. eStatements are safe and secure, guarded by ATFCU’s latest encryption technology. Viewing an eStatement requires you login to your digital account, so you know they are safe from curious fingers.

ATFCU archives 18 months’ worth of eStatements, allowing you easy access to previous documents.

Effective May 15, 2025, members who receive eStatements will also receive eNotices electronically. You’ll be notified via email whenever you have a new document to view.

Signing Up Is Easy

In the app, tap on the MORE icon; tap on ONLINE STATEMENTS; follow the prompts.
In desktop banking, click on the ONLINE STATEMENTS heading; follow the prompts

Please contact a Member Services Representative or our eServices department if you’d like help with this process.

You can always switch back if you wish to do so. However, you cannot sign up for both delivery methods – physical mail and electronic mail – at the same time.
