Erm.. I think to really go e-digital there is still a long way to improve. Current e-digital is just quite troublesome for many. Like some need to key in password in order to access. Yes I understand it is for security in place. Then there are some need to login to company website or what and then download and retrieve it. Some even need 2 factor authentication 1st then able to go in and download the pdf file, after which still need to also key in password in order to access. 

 

I believe that for e-digital, many people might just never open to see it or perhaps forget to open to see it if bills are paid by giro as compared to paper bills that almost all will open and see it right? That's when there will have situations where let's say there is annual credit card fee in the statement, if by mail 100% people will open and noticed it and give bank a call to want to wave or what. E-digital, I think there will have some who might have overlooked and then just pay through giro as they never notice the bill to look at it. There are also many that elderly that are also a very big concern that they can't keep up the pace with e-digital. 

I always ask for paper statement for that reason although i usually pay via giro and or credit cards. 

This password/ encrypted file issue can be resolved using an apps. It won't stop this paperless trend.

I have the singpass app, it is a breeze. Don't need to remember so many passwords.

Don't know what is the constrain why limit to 9am to 5pm. Anyone can explain why? As I am not too familiar with how server works and etc.. 

 

Is it because need someone to man the IT system and if run 24-7 means need people to standby backend 24-7 or other thing?

Cheap, good, no maintenance is bad for GDP!  Expensive, complicated, needing repair/replacement/reinstatement mean GDP continues to go up! Huat ah for the contractors!
