More greed by BNS owners of Tangerine - re iTrade | General comparisons | Discussion forum

I guess you can call it whatever you like BUT personally I'm all for online availability of Bills, Statements, Confirmations, etc.

If you have absolutely no means to take any of the above digitally, I'm sure you can work out something with the entity to continue to receive paper with them waiving the fees.

A lot of times the value of the Statement has a limited time period other than an "historical" record - this from my bank's monthly VISA statement

If you find an error or irregularity (including possible unauthorized or fraudulent Transactions) in this statement you must tell us within 30 days of the last day of the statement period shown on the front of this statement. If you do not, we may regard this statement as Final (except for credits which have been posted in error).

- this from my bank's monthly Bank statement

Important: This statement will be considered correct if you do not report errors, omissions or irregularities in entries and balances to CIBC in writing within the period applicable to your regular account recordkeeping option, as follows:

• Bankbook or paperless: 60 days from the date the entry was, or should have been, posted; or

• Statement: 30 days from last date of the statement period covered by a previously issued regular statement where such period included the date the entry was, or should have been, posted.

This rule does not apply to improper credits to your account. Your rights under your Personal Account Agreement to verify and notify CIBC of account errors, omissions or irregularities do not apply to this statement which is for information or replacement purposes only.

Brokerage confirmations /statements can have a different value i.e. for say, calculating capital gains - my brokerage keeps digital copies of all my confirmations /statements for my account, online, since they started them a dozen years ago.
