Just notice a flyer with my statement saying that in future I will only receive annual statement on my account. Its an active current account.
Apparently if I want them monthly I need to go paperless.
Ie reduce their expenses but increase mine.
Are all banks like this?

Ie reduce their expenses but increase mine.

How does it do this?

Why does it increase your expenses?

Cost of printing statements as I like a hard copy to tick transactions off.

If you want to print them off

what is increasing your expenses? You can search back up to 7 years online and get 3 months worth of statements sent our for free if you need them

why would you need to print them?

Can you get them sent out seona?
Don't use online banking so don't know.

Oh I see, well that is annoying, I thought you could still opt-in.

Would it work for you to change over to using an electronic format e.g. downloading to excel once a month and ticking off on there?

why dont you register for online banking - it is easy to use and keeps you up to date with your account. There is also a moble app where you can get a mini-statement, transfer funds, etc using your mobile phone.

You can order up to 3 months statements twice a year so you would only end up with 6 months worth of statements free.
