Why the HE- - can't they take "NO!" for an answer??

[lastlib]

Every time I log into one of my financial accounts, they throw this "Go Paperless" Sh*t at me. I've said "NO" a thousand times, I MEANT "NO," and the answer is STILL "NO!" "Going Paperless" means I save THEIR paper--not mine! There is no such thing as "paperless" in my world. If I want or need a hard copy (which I almost always do, for one reason or another), I would have to print it on MY own paper. Then it becomes my expense, and their profit. No, thank you. They're the ones making the big dineros, not me--and they can write it all off as a business expense; I can't. I've said "NO" a thousand times, I MEANT "NO," and the answer is eternally"NO!" Sure, I could download the stuff and store it electronically (which might be more efficient, but less helpful if someone else needs ready access to my records), but again, it's my expense. I'll take the paper, thankyouverymuch.

1. It's your decision

But then, if the company has to print and mail the paper statements to you that increases their costs which means they'll cover that expense by charging their customers more.

I've gone paperless and I save my statements to a computer as well as a backup hard drive. I can print whatever I need when I need it or I'll print quarterly statements and file them knowing if something is suspicious or wrong I have a stating point.

3. As I alluded in the OP,

better their expense than mine. If I and a hundred thousand other customers "go paperless," will they then pass the savings on to their customers? No, they'll pass profits on to their shareholders, one of which I am not. If going paperless works fine for you, you have my blessing. It doesn't work for me. I keep meticulous records, largely for the benefit of someone down the line of succession in the event I buy the big ticket, but partly to be able to tell the IRS to go and fornicate a porcupine.

2. I Get That Too

I have declined the mobile app for our 3rd bank at least 20 times, but it keeps asking & I can't proceed with declining again.

4. For me, it depends on what I would lose if my mail were stolen.

Revealing statements or those I absolutely cannot miss are the ones I would go electronic with...but absolutely not from a phone. That is way too easy to lose, drop, or have stolen.

5. If I read that with my eyes closed...

You sound exactly like my dear wife…
