eStatements

eStatements are an electronic version of your paper statements. They look just like your paper statements, but you view them online.

Are eStatements safe?

Yes. Your eStatement is stored on a secure server and transmitted to your Internet browser using 128-bit encryption. Only you can access your eStatement using your Cherokee Online access ID and password.

I read that using eStatements helps prevent identity theft. Is this true?

Because Access IDs, Passwords, and our additional level of security are needed to access your eStatement, your information is more secure than it is in your mailbox, where identity thieves can easily grab your paper bank statements. BankCherokee also uses state-of-the-art security measures to ensure that your information is protected online.

Does my eStatement contain the same information as my paper statement?

Yes. Your eStatement contains the same information your paper statement does. The eStatement itself is a Portable Document Format (pdf) version of your paper statement and looks exactly like the paper statements you’re used to receiving.

No. eStatements are a free service from BankCherokee.
