How to Withdraw E-Delivery Consent If You Cannot Access Your Account
We are required to confirm all delivery preference changes in writing. If you're unable to access your account and need to withdraw your electronic delivery consent, please contact our support team via chat or email at support@branchapp.com.
Once we receive your request, we'll update your preference to paper delivery and respond via chat or email to confirm.
Please note: We can only update your delivery preference from electronic to paper through this process. If you wish to switch back to e-delivery, you'll need to log in to your account and update your preference there, as electronic delivery requires specific attestations.
