This is changing. The only paper bank statements I get now (I'm in the UK) are credit card ones which they're obliged by law to send out. Similarly all my household bills are now electronic. Taxes are done on-line and the government website dumps out a completed PDF for my records.
It's taken a while but things are getting there.
- jasonkester 15y agoI guess this is an indication that it doesn't work unless everything changes at once. I actually do have a few "paperless" services here (DSL, for one), and it's actually biting me now because there are still organizations that absolutely require paper documents to function. Banks are just as guilty of this as the government. Try opening a bank account anywhere without a paper copy of a utility bill to prove your address. The more paperless we get, the tougher life gets when trying to deal with the few holdouts who need to see your papers.
