Enjoy the ease and convenience of electronic storage and delivery of your critical financial information with these options from California Bank & Trust.

Check Safekeeping

Instead of returning checks with your monthly statement, we keep images of canceled checks for seven years. If you need copies of paid checks, up to three items per statement cycle will be provided free of charge[cite::137::cite]. Check Safekeeping helps you keep better track of your expenses, allowing you to be more alert to possible fraud and account discrepancies.

eStatements

Opt out of paper and view your statements online with the convenience of eStatements. Also view notices and select tax documents online with eDocuments.

We'll send you an email when your statement is ready for your review. Plus, if you choose the Check Imaging option available for most checking accounts, images of processed checks are automatically included with your eStatements – making it easier to organize and manage your finances.
