Good to know 

• A download of a ZIP file, which contains several elements, can take a few minutes. 
  
• The ZIP file containing your statements is kept for a period of 7 calandar days. Be sure to download the file to your computer. 
  
• The cheque image is the official image, created by National Bank in accordance with the rules of the Canadian Payments Association for settlement and clearing purposes. The cheque image may be processed and used as if it were the original paper cheque. The cheque image created is therefore an "official image" within the meaning of the law and is admissible in evidence in the same way as the original paper cheque. 
  
• Manually processed cheques and certified cheques are not cleared by National Bank's automated systems, so no image exists for these items. Also, the image of a cheque debited from your bank account is not available if it was too thick, folded, shredded, crumpled, illegible or cleared before February 1, 2011.
