How to go paperless with Bank of America

In the app, go to Menu, then Go Paperless, or ask Erica to “Change paperless settings.” In Online Banking, go to Profile & Settings, then Paperless settings. There is no fee to go paperless, and you can switch back to paper at any time.

A change can take up to 2 statement cycles to start. One difference worth knowing before you choose: electronic statements come with an image of the front of each paid check, and paper statements generally do not.

Bank of America statement example, section by section

Bank of America publishes a sample checking statement. Its Account summary starts with the beginning balance, totals each kind of activity, and ends with the ending balance. Each total then gets its own section further down.

Checking and savings accounts get a statement every month, and accounts with identical owners can share one combined statement. If something on a statement looks wrong, Bank of America must hear from you no later than 60 days after the first statement it appeared on.

Reviewing Bank of America statements for a case

Bank of America statements often reach a case in two batches: the 18 months a client could download, then the older copies ordered later. Add both and you get them back split into monthly statements and sorted by account, and you can see which months are still missing.

Click any row to open its statement page. On Premier and the Single Project, a month that arrives twice is flagged, each month is balanced to the Account summary Bank of America printed, and anything the records can’t support is flagged for you, whether the matter is a divorce, a bankruptcy, an estate or a fraud.
