Most ATMs I see seem to have mini-
statements all over the ground blowing
around, looking untidy, and also present
(somewhat) of a privacy issue to the
intended recipient.
Evidently people are forgetting to pickup
their mini-statements and just walking
off
with their cash.
These little
bits of paper and ink cost the
banks money.
Your bank probably already has your
mobile phone number.
Why don't they just text you the your
mini-statement ?
A secondary advantage: you would know
when somebody was drawing out money
from your account. (and where?)

Aren't I already saving the bank money just by using the ATM? When do I get to see some of that in my account? |
|

The cost of paper and ink will be minuscule compared to the 3 or 4p cost of sending a txt. |
|
| |
in the US, sending is free.
receiving costs money instead
~10p. given I have unlimited
text and this could be
something you opt into... |
|
| |
Good idea, but baked already. I get an SMS whenever the balance changes. |

Maybe true: but does it really
'cost' 3-4p for a text ? Isn't
this the pass-on charge that
mobile providers put on us? |
|
| |
Factor in the maintenance-
saving for less printer-wear,
paper changing (jamming,
running out of ink...) |

So do I, but its not really a
standard feature of cash
machines to say 'withdraw cash
with e-receipt' or something
like that. |
|
| |
So baked - yeah partially -
but its building on that I
think.. |
|
| |
Add in the choice to have it sent to a regular email address as well. Definitely a keeper. |

As <Ling> indicates, some banks do indeed support email and text alerts for various types of account activity. Contact your bank folks to inquire or plead. |
