Hmmm, these banks are strange. How can one branch say no all of a sudden but the other stamped?
I was not able to get stamps on my bank statements because HSBC said it’s against policy and they have said the same to others who have been in the same position.
I went to two branches in my area and they both said the same that they don’t stamp anymore.
A gentleman that worked there actually told me he had a family member who couldn’t get the stamp cause of the policy and the visa was granted. Apparently Immigration are aware of their policy - how true that is, we shall see.
I’d be suing HSBC if this is a reason for refusal tbh.

Hello,
I am renewing my FLR (M) visa due to expire August 2019 via Cat A.
1. Just went to TSB to print out my 6 months statement which they did but then refused to stamp it due to the banks policy. Is this a problem? Should I explain in my application letter?
2. I have 5 joint letters from 2017 through to 2019 and two single letters from different sources. Would this suffice for proof of cohabitation?
3. I work in the UK public sector. Getting a bespoke
employment letter is proving tricky although my contract clearly states that my job is permanent. The letter I got stars my salary and that my work for the organisation and lists whom to contact. Is this okay or should I continue to push for a bespoke letter?
1. Try other branch/other time because they do stamp.
2. Yes as long as they are from at least 3 sources with at least 3-4 months gap.
3. Contract is not mandatory but employer letter is. It can be addressed to whom it may concern but preferably UKVI. It must state your job title, length of service, wages, overtime/bonuses etc.
Cheers for the advice. Went to another branch 20 mins away and statement was sorted
I'll push for a bespoke employment although these government agencies are notoriously rigid and slow.
Hell sir,
I am with HSBC too, they didn't stamp my bank statements and only wrote a letter to confirm when I opened my account, how long I had it and the average money in my account.
They told me this is sufficient, however I phone hsbc explained to them etc and said I need bank statement with the address and hsbc header on the statement. They then sent to me through the post and my lawyer said it was fine.
So I submitted my docs along with the letter.
I'm still waiting for the decision. Therefore to the answer to your question, I suggest you phone hsbc customer service and request bank statement with hsbc header etc to be sent to you.
Hope I made sense, I typed it in a rush.
kind regards
karmy
