How to Keep a Receipt of Electronic Banking

Electronic banking indicates that you as a bank customer have opted to go paperless. Paperless of course means that you view your account online through an online checking or savings account and do not receive paper copies of your statement for this account. 

• Save receipts from the ATM. Most ATMs provide you with a printed receipt of your withdrawal of funds as long as the machine is properly loaded with paper. 


• Opt to receive emails notifying you when a deposit is made. Electronic banking organizations such as Pay-Pal offer you the option to receive these notification emails. You could print this email out and use it as a receipt of this transaction. 


• Print the confirmation pages for when you make a purchase online. All websites offer a confirmation page that notifies you that your order was processed. This confirmation page acts as a receipt of the purchase. 


• Print out receipts of money transfers. If you use both Pay-Pal and a conventional bank account you could easily print out the confirmation page from either notifying you that the transfer has been set up. You could also go to the account to which the money was transferred and print out a copy of the transaction once it is complete. With Pay-Pal you would simply access your account, locate the listing and click "Details." Within the details is a listing of the exact dollar amount that was transferred and/or received as well as the date and time that the transaction took place.
