Parent's name on my account's bank statement?

When I was 16 (two years ago) my dad came with me to the bank and helped me open my first bank account. Apparently that gave him access to my account, because a year ago he transferred some money from my account to his own. Now that I've turned 18, he tells me he's unable to access the money in my account anymore. However, on my bank statement his name is still listed below mine, where our home address is listed. Next to the account number on the statement, however, is my name alone - not his. So, I'm confused.

How much of my account is he still able to access, if any of it? Can he see what transactions I make or what accounts I open? Can he access my account's bank statements, which are available only online?

    You need to ask the bank this. Not us.

    Hm. I'd ask the bank.

    If you're really not sure or you'd like some privacy, there's nothing to stop you from opening another account.

    NB To clarify, it's the product name we need not the individuals named on the account!!
