NexTier Bank eStatements replace paper monthly statements with secure electronic delivery in online banking and the NexTier mobile app. Enrollment takes under a minute, removes mailing delays, and keeps seven years of past statements searchable online. Every eStatement is a PDF with check images, daily balance reconciliation, interest earned, and fee disclosures — legally equivalent to paper under the federal E-SIGN Act of 2000.
Tax documents including Form 1099-INT, Form 1098, and Form 1099-R also deliver electronically to eStatement-enrolled customers each January. For enrollment help, email address updates, or paper reprint requests, call NexTier Bank customer service at +1-800-562-6262. Paperless delivery also qualifies some checking tiers for fee waivers — check your account disclosure for details.

Every eStatement cycle follows the same secure process. Your monthly statement posts to online banking on the statement closing date, and an email notification alerts you to retrieve it by logging in.
Enrollment requires accepting the electronic consent disclosure under the E-SIGN Act, which confirms you can receive and access PDF documents on a computer or mobile device. Verify your email address for notification delivery and select which accounts convert from paper to electronic. You can enroll some accounts and keep paper on others — NexTier Bank supports mixed preferences. The first eStatement delivers at the next statement cycle; paper stops automatically after the first electronic delivery. Update preferences any time in online banking.
On each statement closing date, NexTier Bank generates your monthly statement as a PDF and posts it to the Documents area of online banking and the mobile app. An email notification arrives on the same day with a secure link back to online banking — the email itself contains no account data to protect against phishing and email compromise. Open the PDF in a browser, download it, or forward the secure link to a tax professional with view-only access. Paper re-requests can be made by calling customer service; reprint fees may apply per fee schedule.

Paperless delivery offers practical advantages beyond the environmental benefit of eliminating mailed paper.
eStatements post to online banking on the statement closing date. Paper statements follow a 3-7 business day mailing window after generation. Faster availability supports faster reconciliation, earlier fraud detection, and quicker response to fee disputes or transaction errors.
Paper statements sitting in mailboxes are a known fraud vector — mail theft and account takeover attempts target printed account numbers. Electronic delivery keeps statement data inside the same encrypted online banking environment that protects daily transactions.
Seven years of past statements are instantly searchable from any device. No filing cabinet, no shoebox of envelopes. Loan applications, tax audits, and mortgage pre-approvals often require 2-3 years of bank statements — a request that completes in minutes with eStatements.
Paperless enrollment takes less than a minute in online banking or the NexTier app. Call +1-800-562-6262 for help with enrollment, email address updates, or historical statement requests.
