In order to properly utilize electronic (email) correspondence, your organization must have a website configured to be updated with account statements and other notices to your constituents/borrowers.

| Login URL | Web address used in the email to create a link to the login screen by which the constituent may gain access to the PDF form produced by the Electronic Correspondence System. This should be the address to your website via Online-CEF |
