Sponsor requires full name printed on statement

As above

Does anyone know which banks will print the account holders full name on the statement?

Our daughter is moving to Japan but Gogo Nihon require the sponsors full name on the bank statement. 

Halifax say it's not possible even if he added his middle name to the account the statement would only use his first and last name.

Nationwide only use initials on the statement and the person I spoke to wanted to fill a form in to add the full name but didn't know if it would print on the statement.

Any ideas? Ideally an account that he can open online, deposit the money then print off a statement.

TIA

    I just checked with my main account Monzo, their statements show my first, middle and surname in full (so no initials). You'd have to download their mobile app though, but it is quick to set up.

    Edit: I'm having a quick look my other accounts, and Revolut and Chase also show statements with the full name. But again, apps.
    Edit 2: Santander also shows my first, middle and last name in full.

    Monzo is the only one of mine that does, I checked my Starling and Natwest accounts and they don't.

    And don't bother with Lloyds, BOS, Halifax or TSB :)

    Never associate with idiots on their own level, because, being an intelligent man, you'll try to deal with them on their level - and on their level they'll beat you every time.

    Being hated by idiots is the price you pay for not being one of them.

    Yay Monzo worked. It was all straight forward and we've already downloaded a statement.

    Thank you ever so much.
