Currency on bank statement for Tier 4 visa

[Kelvamp]

My bank statement doesn’t have a currency on it, is this a problem? It has bank’s address but no currency.

Someone, perhaps you OP, asked the same question on Quora recently, and people have responded. See https://www.quora.com/My-bank-statement ... -affect-me

There may be someone here who has faced similar problem or know someone who went through it before or? I am not convinced with the answers on quora.

Thank you

Why do you think it is a problem though? As one of the answers on Quora says, the Tier 4 policy guidance lists the requirements of a bank statement, and it does not include currency.

The only time it would be relevant or useful to specifically identify the currency would be if the account was in a currency other than the national currency. In that case it would be good to highlight it on the statement, so it is very clear to the ECO. Otherwise, an ECO will logically and surely correctly assume the account his held in the currency of the country where it is situated.

The matter is also covered in UKCISA's recent blog series about myths, misunderstanding and "secret rules" for Tier 4 maintenance:
