Can I still get records of transactions through X-O?

I was a bit remiss with downloading statements! The…

yougov.finance bribe
It's one of these almost-too-good-to-be-true stories, but it is true. First mentioned by @Bridlington1 in the Natwest Regular Saver thread, but I reckon this deserves its own thread as it could be of interest to those who have at least 10 current, credit card and savings accounts and not everyone reads the Natwest RS…

They asked for a bunch of documentation as proof of inheritance when I tried to open the account and chose inheritance as source of money, now I'm worried the product will get pulled while they get around to checking my uploaded documents, however long that takes. Maybe next time in future I'll just pick Savings as source…
