Nearly all banks should offer paper statements of some kind0

If, for whatever reason, you are absolutely opposed to having a banking app - which will give you a PDF statement immediately which you can read or print if you need the dead tree copy - then most, if not all, will have statements available on the bank online site and again, you can get PDFs to read on the screen. Both are far safer than a paper copy which can be used for ID fraud and gives you the same information, but slower.
Sam Vimes' Boots Theory of Socioeconomic Unfairness:
People are rich because they spend less money. A poor man buys $10 boots that last a season or two before he's walking in wet shoes and has to buy another pair. A rich man buys $50 boots that are made better and give him 10 years of dry feet. The poor man has spent $100 over those 10 years and still has wet feet.

Banks need to consider that there are people like me who:
* Don't use apps.
* Don't have a smart phone.
* Don't have a printer.
* Don't want to check stuff online.1 -
They do but there are a vanishingly small number of people who wish to have the security risk and environmental cost of a paper statement in the post AND who don't use a smartphone AND are unwilling to check things online. Only getting a monthly statement means a huge delay to notice and take action over fraud or mistakes hence why the vast majority are served fine with apps or online (or both). I suspect (and hope) it will become a paid service eventually as they are no longer required (not the same as desired) in the digital age.

Yes I doubt the number is vanishingly small.0
