HSBC Duplicate copy of bank statement

hi,

HSBC is no longer stamping and signing the statements and they are just providing the duplicate copy in their letter head.

Is that enough to suffice ukba requirement of bank statements? Please can someone comment on their personal experiences?

Thanks in advance.

I am in the same boat. I got myself a copy of duplicate statement from the bank as a dry run. It is on official bank stationary, good quality paper, with colored logo. According to the guidance you dont need stamp if it is on official stationary. Seniors in this forum also advised that such duplicate statement from HSBC should be fine. I am planning to go with it if I cant get the postal statement on time.

UK BA also states on its website that if appealing a refusal you can present new evidence only to support genuineness of document submitted with initial application. So in the worst case, if your application is rejected you can present the regular postal statement during appeal. It wont be considered new evidence.

In my opinion we should be fine with the duplicate statement without stamp.

HSBC will send the duplicate statements by post, similar to the original statements, but only with Duplicate written over it. This should be sufficient for this purpose.

They don't normally issue this from the branch, but they will give you a printout on their headed paper. I think this is not enough. Maybe I am wrong.

Speaking from recent personal experience, you can walk into any HSBC branch with your passport and debit card to request a duplicate statement on official stationary, and you will be issued the same immediately.

Extract from T1 guidance about personal bank statements for pervious earnings and maintenance fund make it amply clear that such statements are acceptable:

"Personal bank statements showing the payments made to the applicant: Bank
statements provided must be on official bank stationery, and must show each of
the payments that the applicant is claiming
The personal bank or building society
statements should clearly show:
• the applicant’s name;
• the account number;
• the date of the statement;
• the financial institution’s name and logo;
• any transactions during the 90 day
period;
• that there are enough funds present in
the account (the balance must always be at least £800) covering the 90 day period before
the date of application; All statements must be on the bank’s stationery, unless the applicant is submitting
electronic statements. Ad hoc bank statements printed on the bank’s letterhead/stationery are admissible as
evidence (this excludes mini-statements from cash points). "

Search this forum for people who have had no issues with such statements. 'Duplicate' is fine.

If you need further confirmation call/mail UK BA customer care.

Yes, I have applied recently. My stmnt generation date is 21st day of the month. But I needed to show stmnts till 27th. So I just walked down to nearest HSBC Bank Branch with a photo identity proof and asked them to give stmnts from 22 to 27th. They have taken a print out from their print-out machine. This will contain HSBC logo on top left, your bank acc. details, transaction details and at the end some URL.
Also at the top right portion, it shows that it is Historic Statement doc.
