These can include Forms 1098, 1099 and 5498.
  • You must provide a valid e-mail address to which we can send notifications of electronic  availability as well as any additional account disclosures that we are required, by law, to provide.

  • The Bank will provide a rolling 24 months of eStatements immediately upon your consent to receive delivery of eStatements for any account to Digital Banking. This will include access to check images. You may have access to less than 24 months of eStatements if your account has not been opened with the Bank for a full 24 statement cycles, or if the type of account does not typically produce a monthly statement. Statements and check images prior to November 2020 are unavailable via Digital Banking, but can be obtained by contacting your local Wintrust Community Bank.

Withdrawing Consent to Electronic Delivery of Documents

You may withdraw your consent to participate in the Electronic Delivery of Documents for any account or any listed form at any time by changing the delivery method from “electronic” to “paper” on the "Manage Document Delivery" page which is available from the My Documents menu in Digital Banking.

The Bank reserves the right to treat an invalid e-mail address as a withdrawal of your consent to participate in the Electronic Delivery of Documents. For example, if a delivery notification is returned to us because the e-mail address is not available or invalid, the Bank can treat this as a withdrawal of your consent to participate in these services.  Any consent to withdraw from Electronic Delivery of Documents, will be effective after a reasonable period of time after we have determined consent to have been made.
