Statements from last 5 years?

My wife just got a job with acertain bank. They say they need to see bank statements for the last 5 years. We're fine for the last 4 years, but the previous ones are now closed. She went to the Halifax yesterday who have traced the account and requested statements. Should there be any problem retrieving them, statements for any other closed accounts?closed

    I wonder if the banks ask to see the last 5 years' statements for the offshore/swiss bank accounts held by some of their senior executives? :rolleyes:
