> I eventually downloaded one from my bank

Had the same experience, but that I could not do, as my bank would only give out some crude Netscape era HTML laid out with a borderless <table>, that might just as well have been plain text. I literally had to fake something that looked like a pretty paper one, complete with the bank cooler palette and slapping a semi-transparent logo in the background.

Another marvel: once I received some paperwork, and was asked to sign and scan, which I did.

I had a nice scanner. It produced perfectly noise free, upright scans. I had a nice pen. It produced very clean scripture.

Apparently too nice as the recipient lectured me that I had to print, physically sign, and scan, that they could not accept a digital signature on a digital document. The fact that I received the paperwork on actual paper by snail mail and never could have had access to a digital version completely eluded them.
