Important information - the value of investments and the income from them, can go down as well as up, so you may get back less than you invest.
Q: I get my statement and valuation by post. Can I get this online instead?
We encourage as many of our customers to do this as possible, so thanks for the question!
If you’re able, it’s a good idea to get your statement and valuation online. Not only is it better for the planet to go paperless, but you can access it securely, 24/7 online. In fact, make the switch to receive important information from us online - which includes your statement and valuation - and all your documents are stored in your account for seven years.
How to switch online
If you're an existing account holder, you can register for online access by selecting 'Register' in the top right corner of the home page and follow the instructions. A cautionary note, if you have a middle name(s) and we have it on our records, you need to enter it in the 'first name' box. You can check your paperwork to see how we address letters to you for confirmation.
You can view a how-to guide here How to register for online access.
If - on the other hand - you're a new customer, you can register for online access when you open an account.
Changing your preferences
Once you’ve registered for online access, you can select how you’d like to receive all your account documents. First log in, then go to ‘menu’, then ‘profile’, then ‘preference centre’ and finally ‘account documents.’ You can either select to receive all your documents online or select the ones you want individually.
You can even choose to receive a valuations text alert every two weeks. Simply go to ‘menu’, then ‘profile’, then ‘preference centre’ and finally ‘text alerts’ and opt in. You can also get a text when we receive buy, sell and switch updates.
You can change your preferences at any time.
Viewing your documents online
Once you’ve opted in to receive your important documents online, simply go to ‘menu’, ‘documents and messages’, then ‘documents’ and all you’ll find all your documents there.
And finally…
If you have any difficulties setting any of this up, you can call our client services team who’ll help. You can find our contact details here.
