There are a few banks or building societies where there's not even a space to insert a middle name on the application form; they only ask for first and last names. Are we to be penalised later on if presenting statements from them to others for verification?

Shouldn't be an issue. Primary ID will always be Government issued photo ID. Anyone asking for bank statements will be looking to verify an address or a nominated account.
