By signing up for Bank of America online banking, you agree to receive all notices, agreements, and important disclosures electronically rather than by mail, and these electronic documents carry the same legal weight as paper ones.
Consenting to electronic communications means regulatory-required notices, fee changes, and agreement amendments will be sent to your email or posted online, and you are legally bound by them whether or not you actually read them — making it essential to keep your email address current and check Bank of America communications regularly.

REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: This provision implicates the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act (E-SIGN, 15 U.S.C. §7001 et seq.), which requires affirmative consumer consent to electronic delivery of legally required disclosures and mandates hardware/software disclosure. Regulation E (12 CFR §1005.4) imposes specific delivery requirements for electronic fund transfer disclosures. CFPB Electronic Disclosure guidance (12 CFR Part 1001) also applies. The CFPB and OCC both examine E-SIGN compliance during bank examinations.
