mortgage application - bank statements

We are in the process of applying for a remortgage. They company want our last 3 months bank statements. Do most of them accept statements printed from online banking accounts? As I only do online banking.
Thanks

  • You should be fine with the "printer friendly" online statements.

  • Most will accept PDFs from the website - they won't accept screenshots. if they're fussy, you can go into a bank and ask for print outs of statements even if you normally get them electronically (to evidence our deposit I had to request a print out of transactions since our last statement).

  • I provided PDF and was not asked for paper version (the one with a stamp from the bank!).
    Mostly the lender seemed interested in matching by income from payslip to the the statement!

    They can be odd.
    My lender was happy with PDFs downloaded from my online banking and then uploaded (still PDF) to their mortgage website.
    So that's pretty loose.

    But to prove our address, the would NOT accept an original bank statement received by us in the post. They wanted us to take that original, have it photocopied and declared a true copy by my solicitor, and send that signed photocopy. They would not accept the original.
    So stupid.
