Electronic statement

[cessxy]

Has anyone used e statement and had any problems from the Eco using that?

Thanks :)

You shouldn't have a problem but make sure it has the Logo/Address of the bank on it.

If you really want to make sure get them stamped by a solicitor.... only costs a few quid, some are free.

Consulates are reluctant to accept bank statements printed out from e-banking accounts because these can be so easily forged. Properly headed original statements can usually be obtained by visiting a branch office.

when we applied for fiancee visa
i had to obtain a missing statement from natwest
went into the branch and ordered originals, came in post a few weeks later
think i had to pay a fee
also i think only original statements will be accepted

if going through visa/FLR/ILR process paperless billing is a no no, i my opinion
