Electronic Business Information

This notice contains important information regarding your transaction of business with us electronically. Federal law treats electronic signatures as having the same legal force and effect as if they were signed on paper by hand. Therefore, online contracts have the same legal force as signing an equivalent paper contract in ink. Please note, to apply for products and services online, the applicant will be required to utilize an electronic signature.

Below is information regarding Records received, signed and/or delivered electronically by or with SmartyPig (“we” or “us” or “our.”) Records include, but are not limited to, applications, notices, disclosures, authorizations and 1099-INT.

By using this Website you are providing consent to receive all Records that might be sent in connection with your account from SmartyPig electronically, rather than in paper format. SmartyPig does not offer its users an option to receive Records in paper format. SmartyPig will only provide you with paper copies of any records when required to do so by law or court order, in which case SmartyPig may charge the account holder a per-page fee of $5. Contact Customer Service at 888-567-6278 to request a Record.

A shipping and handling fee of $5 per Record copy to account holder will also apply.

Printing/Downloading Records

You agree to print out and/or download Records when we advise you to do so and keep them for your records. If you have any trouble printing out, downloading, and/or accessing any Records, you may contact us at 888-567-6278.

Requirements to Retain Electronic Statements

You may access and retain Records from us in two formats:

  • You can send screen prints to your printer. Most Internet browsers provide a convenient method of printing the Records you view on your monitor. To retain a copy of the aforementioned, you may print copies from the SmartyPig Website where the Records will be provided.
  • You can save an electronic copy of Records to your personal computer, PDA, pocket PC or storage device, such as an external hard drive. Records will be provided in PDF format for download.

Withdrawing E-SIGN Consent

You may withdraw your consent to E-SIGN at anytime. Doing so will terminate your SmartyPig user account. To withdraw your consent to E-SIGN, please contact SmartyPig Customer Support at 888-567-6278. Customer Support will verify your identity. Upon verification of your identity, your account will be deactivated. The remaining balances from any active savings goals and interest accrued, will be mailed to you on a cashier’s check made out to the primary account holder’s name and address on file. It could take up to 5-7 business days, once all pending transactions have cleared, before the check can be issued and mailed via USPS mail. By law, SmartyPig must retain your account information on file for up to 7 years. Any personal and sensitive information pertaining to your account will be encrypted and masked and stored according to the latest security standards.
