ARE YOU TAKING ADVANTAGE OF PAPERLESS STATEMENTS?

RJO is excited to offer the option of paperless monthly statements. In development for the past year, this has been a goal of your Board of Directors to help reduce postage fees as well as our imprint on the environment

This option is for any member who would prefer to receive their statements electronically via email, rather than via the USPS. And it’s simple to opt in:

Login to the RJO website

Select the Invoicing Tool from the Account Dropdown Select the Statement Preferences box at the top of your statement window

Enter the email or emails you would like to receive the statement. You can enter more than one email by placing a comma or semi-colon between the addresses Once submitted, our Accounts Receivable Manager will update your account to paperless.

When we process statements each month, an email is generated and sent to those who have selected to receive paperless statements. It will include your current and dating statement and any statement stuffers for that month

Help reduce fees and paper waste, by opting in today!
