FAQ’s

• Are statements emailed to members?   No, statements are not emailed to members, but rather stored in a secure location on your online account.  The only email sent is to notify you that your statements are ready to view.
• Are there any settings that I need to do on my computer to be able to view my statements?  Yes, once you are logged into your account online, you will need to make sure your pop-up blockers are turned off for the online site.  Once you make this change, you will not have to do it again.
• What if I need to print a statement?  You can still print a statement through e-statements.  Once you display the statement on your computer screen, you’ll be able to print from it like any other document.
• I have e-statements right now, but I get a paper one every quarter, what do I do to stop the one that comes to me quarterly?  If you are set up for e-statements and you are still receiving paper statement, simply email digitalservices@bvscu.org and they can insure your account is set to e-statements only.
