For a regulation that requires the borrower to contact you in writing - does email count? I think yes, but they want me to PROVE it. smile

Depends on whether you have an E-SIGN agreement or have established an agreement of accepting email as a written notice. E-SIGN would be pretty solid, "here is how we'll contact you and you may respond." Otherwise, if I was the customer I might say the bank and I have emailed many times and established this as a valid means of communication. The reciprocal wouldn't be true because the bank knows "written" means written or E-SIGN. But if the bank accepts emails as written, it may be considered an established practice.
