💭 Credit card and fixed deposit account statements are not accepted.

If Your Bank Statement Is Less Than 3 Months Old:

👉🏻 After obtaining a local UK bank account, make sure to regularly shop at supermarkets, make online purchases, or transfer money with friends. Also, request a bank account opening proof (your bank statement must have at least 1 month’s worth of transactions before submission).

📃 Is a Stamp Required?

• Offline banks (such as Santander and Barclays) require a stamp.

• Online banks (e.g., Starling, Monzo, Revolut) do not require a stamp.

• Banks like HSBC and others in Scotland no longer require a stamp and allow direct downloading of the account opening proof from the app.
