Hello
The PSW guidance contains conflicting information with regards to what the financial documents should contain.
"98. The evidence to support personal savings for at least three months must be original, on the official letter-headed paper or stationery of the organisation and have the official stamp of that organisation. It must have been issued by an authorised official of that organisation."
This seems to imply that ALL bank statements should be stamped.
"Ad hoc bank statements printed on the bank’s letterhead are admissible as evidence (this excludes mini-statements from cash points)."
This does not mention anything about adhoc statements needing to bear the stamp of the bank.
My bank branch resolutely refuses to stamp or print out ad hoc statement on their letterheaded paper. The back office is more helpful. So I would greatly appreciate any info as to what the real requirements are. Thanks.

Avoid the hassle of an appeal and send in your original bank statement when applying which is sent periodically by your bank. Most banks refuse to stamp and sign any statement they print, quite a few people here have had that experience and HO will definitely refuse you on the grounds that it's not been stamped and signed. Better to be safe than sorry.

Thank you very much.
So the periodic bank statements do not need to be stamped then? Sorry, one other question, does the statement issued by the backoffice (not the branch) count as adhoc or is it considered the same as the normal periodic ones. The ones frm the back office are on letterheaded paper but no stamps.
Thats what I am trying to do, making sure what the rules really are before submitting my application.
TYIA.

The ones issued by the back office should look more or less like the ones you get periodically so it should be fit for the same purpose, so they don't need to be stamped.

Thanks for the reply.
Actually the ones I acquired from the backoffice look more like the ones from the branch than the periodically sent ones. The difference is the backoffice ones says "internal record" and were printed on the letterheaded papers, whilst the ones from the branch says "temporary statement" on ordinary paper. The fonts and everything are the same. Hence the question. You reckon its gonna be a problem?
