About Paper Statement Fee
“Paper Statement Fee” is not an independent business or merchant; it is a line-item description that many banks and credit card issuers use for a fee they charge customers who opt to receive paper statements by mail. The exact fee amount, frequency, and conditions vary by institution, but it is typically assessed monthly or per statement cycle when paper statements are generated and mailed instead of being accessed online.
This charge appears on statements when your account is configured to receive paper statements, or in some cases when a one-time paper copy is requested. It may also show up retroactively if your bank changes its fee schedule and begins charging for paper delivery. Because this is an internal charge, it will usually appear alongside your other account activity from the same institution, with no separate merchant name, address, or contact details.
To verify or resolve questions about this charge, log in to your bank or card issuer’s online or mobile banking portal and review your account’s statement-delivery preferences and fee schedule. You can typically avoid future “Paper Statement Fee” charges by switching to electronic statements in your profile or settings, or by contacting customer service via the phone number on the back of your card or on the statement itself. If you believe you were charged in error—for example, after already switching to e-statements—call your bank or secure-message them to request clarification or a courtesy refund.
