electronic statement

Electronic statements are downloadable documents in PDF format that contain the transactions that take place on our credit card account, in the same way as a conventional paper-based version.

For our customers who use a retail account management service [a K&H retail bank account] and a K&H e-bank contract, the monthly electronic account statement for the credit card is automatically set up, and can thus be found and downloaded from the client’s own K&H e-banking account. The type of statement (i.e. whether the Bank should make it available on paper or electronically) can be changed at any time via K&H e-bank.

Credit card holders who do not have access to K&H e-bank will receive a printed account statement every month.

If you have a K&H retail bank account but do not yet have access to K&H e-bank, please apply free of charge at any K&H bank branch of your choice.

Electronic account statements have a number of advantages over conventional account statements sent by regular mail.

  • secure: they are only accessible with your own, unique ID
  • convenient and simple: viewable and downloadable from anywhere, anytime, 24 hours a day - no need to wait for mail delivery
  • environmentally friendly: no unnecessary paper usage
  • if a printed statement is still required, one copy of each statement can be printed free of charge from the e-bank platform, in any K&H branch.
