e-statements
Online account summaries
E-statements are electronic versions of financial statements—bank accounts, credit cards, utilities—delivered digitally rather than by mail.
Most institutions now default to e-statements, requiring customers to opt in for paper: I switched to e-statements to reduce clutter.
Also written as estatements or eStatements.
