You may also request a paper copy by contacting Us utilizing the methods listed in the Update Contact Information section above. We will not charge you a fee for a paper copy that We send to you. The request for a paper copy of any Communication will not by itself constitute a withdrawal of consent for future electronic deliveries.

You may without charge withdraw consent to receive Communications electronically by contacting Us at 877-346-2756 or at a different phone number that We may, from time to time, communicate to you. If you withdraw your consent to receive Communications electronically, we will terminate the relationship and close your deposit account(s), and return the current balance and any accrued interest to you via external linked account or check.

Your withdrawal of consent will take effect five (5) days after We receive such request. A withdrawal of consent will not apply to Communications provided electronically before the date on which the withdrawal of consent takes effect. In addition, your withdrawal does not apply to any consent you provide to Us to send you electronic communications relating to credit card account(s) or loan(s) you may have with Us. 

Tax Documents

If you provide consent to receive Communications electronically, We will deliver tax documents to you electronically and will typically only terminate electronic delivery of tax documents under extraordinary circumstances, however, We reserve the right to provide some or all Communications to you at any time in paper form at your designated U.S. Postal address. In no event will We charge you for a paper copy of a tax document.

Your consent to receive Communications electronically applies to tax documents furnished to you every year after the consent takes effect until it is withdrawn by you. If you call Us to withdraw your consent to receive Communications electronically in accordance with the terms of the Withdraw Consent section above, We will confirm the withdrawal of consent of electronic delivery of tax documents and the date on which it takes effect during the phone call. In the event We are required to provide you with tax documents after that date, We will mail a paper copy of such documents to your designated U.S. Postal address. As stated in the Withdraw Consent section above, if you withdraw your consent, We will terminate the relationship and close your deposit account(s).

Tax documents that are provided electronically will remain available electronically for at least one year after the date they are originally made available to you electronically. 

Providing an Electronic Signature

Your consent also permits Us to obtain your electronic signature if you choose to sign certain Communications or any other document or contract electronically. If you do sign electronically, your electronic signature will bind you to the terms and conditions to the same extent as if you provided your signature on paper with an ink signature.
