A new push to move credit card users to a digital statement will now come with a penalty for those who don\u2019t want to comply.<\/p>\n

Credit card companies from big name retailers have been silently rolling out a fee of $1.99 if you wish to keep receiving paper statements.<\/p>\n

One of the biggest offenders is Synchrony Bank, and they have co-branded and store-affiliated credit cards with over 100 cards in their lineup, which include Sam’s Club\u00ae Credit Card, the Lowe’s Store Card, and the Amazon Store Card.<\/p>\n

In November of last year, Citibank released new guidance to its customers saying that going paperless was “now required to access your account on Citi.com and the Citi Mobile App,”<\/p>\n

There isn\u2019t a law banning paper statements, however, but permission is required in order to start paperless billing.<\/p>\n

In a report to NBC Los Angeles Alicia Galowitsch said that the change started to add up for them. They account for every penny.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s very tight. It\u2019s very tight to where we had to start going to a food bank,” said Ms. Galowitsch. “It\u2019s going to be $11.94,” said Galowitsch.<\/p>\n

The couple has a number of credit cards and receive statements to help with organization.<\/p>\n

‘If I’m not here, the payments are going to be late because Mark’s not going to know what to do. With paper statements, everything is written down for him,’ she noted.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u2018I have the Paypal mastercard and got a letter in the mail today. Beginning in April they will start charging if you are not using electronic statements. It is a small fee of $2.50 but still just a heads up if anyone has any cards by them may want to check.\u2019<\/p>\n
