Why Switch to eStatements

NexTier Bank eStatements offer tangible advantages over paper statements in security, convenience and record-keeping. Here is what changes when you make the switch.

Faster Delivery

eStatements are available in your online banking document center the same day they are generated — typically within 1-2 business days after your statement closing date. Paper statements take 5-7 business days to arrive by mail. With eStatements, you can review your account activity, verify charges and begin reconciliation days earlier than paper allows. An email notification alerts you the moment a new statement is ready.

Enhanced Security

Paper statements sitting in a mailbox or recycling bin are a leading source of identity theft and financial fraud. eStatements eliminate that vulnerability by delivering your sensitive financial information through NexTier Bank's encrypted online banking portal. Only you — authenticated through your credentials and multi-factor verification — can access your statements. No mail interception. No dumpster diving. No risk of lost documents during a move.

7-Year Archive

NexTier Bank retains your eStatements for seven years from the statement date. That means you have instant access to 84 months of account history without filing a single piece of paper. Need a statement from three years ago for a mortgage application or tax audit? Download it in seconds. The archive includes all monthly and quarterly statements, tax documents and bank notices for every enrolled account.

Enrollment, Tax Documents and Archive Management

Everything you need to know about setting up eStatements, accessing tax documents and managing your digital archive.

How to Enroll

Log into your NexTier Bank online banking account and navigate to the Statements section. Click "Enroll in eStatements" and accept the electronic delivery disclosure, which confirms your consent to receive statements electronically rather than by mail. Verify your email address — this is where statement availability notifications will be sent. Select which accounts to enroll. You can enroll all accounts simultaneously or choose specific ones.

Enrollment takes effect beginning with your next statement cycle. Any statements generated before enrollment will remain available only in paper form. After enrollment, new statements appear in your document center automatically. You can also enroll through the NexTier Bank mobile app by navigating to More, then Statements, then Enroll.

Tax Documents and Year-End Forms

When you are enrolled in eStatements, your year-end tax documents are also delivered electronically. This includes 1099-INT forms (interest income), 1099-MISC forms, 1098 forms (mortgage interest paid), and any other applicable tax reporting documents. Tax documents typically post to your document center in mid-to-late January each year. You receive an email notification when they become available.

Tax documents are archived alongside your account statements for seven years, giving you long-term access for amended returns or IRS correspondence. If you need a tax document from a prior year that predates your eStatement enrollment, contact NexTier Bank at 724-543-2900 or visit any Western Pennsylvania branch for assistance. NexTier Bank is a member FDIC institution. NMLS #407872.

Managing Your Statement Archive

Your eStatement document center is organized for quick access to any statement or document you need, regardless of how far back it dates.

Viewing and Downloading

Statements are organized by account and date within your document center. Filter by account type, date range or document category (statements, tax forms, notices) to find exactly what you need. Each statement opens as a PDF that mirrors the format of the paper statement you previously received — same layout, same transaction detail, same check images. Download individual statements or select multiple for batch download.

The PDF format ensures compatibility with any device and allows you to print statements at home if a physical copy is needed for a mortgage application, lease agreement, audit response or any other purpose. NexTier Bank does not charge for eStatement downloads or prints — a paper statement reprint from the bank costs $5 per statement by comparison.

Opting Out and Returning to Paper

You can return to paper statements at any time by navigating to the Statements section in online banking and selecting "Return to Paper Statements." Paper delivery resumes with your next statement cycle. A $3 per month paper statement fee applies to accounts that revert from eStatements. Any statements already in your electronic archive remain accessible for the full seven-year retention period even after you opt out.

If you close your NexTier Bank account, your eStatement archive remains accessible through online banking for 90 days after account closure. We recommend downloading any statements you may need before that window expires. For statements needed after the 90-day period, contact 724-543-2900 for retrieval assistance.
