Do you mean join the internet banking and provide them online bank statements printed at home ?

Sorry I should have clarified this earlier, it is for British Home Office and they need to see the statements on the day of appointment.

Thanks once again Conniff. I dont understand the above, could you please elaborate a bit more, sorry for my ignorance in these matters

Thanks very much conniff for your reply. I have read that bank has 40 days to respond. Could this be a problem if I need the statements before 14th of November? Do I have to specify the reason for SAR ? cheers

Hi all, This is my first post on the forum so please excuse me if I make a mistake while posting this. I have tried hard to find this information on this forum but could not find a definite solution For providing proof of cohabitation during last three years, I need bank statements from HSBC for last three years before 14th of November. What I need essentially is a documentary proof describing 1. the transactions for last one year 2. the fact the account was in my partner's and my name for last three years. I was told that HSBC would charge me £1 per sheet of the bank statements and the total cost might amount to at least £70 assuming two sheets per statement. Given that Natwest has provided me the statements for free for last three years, this amount seems quite unreasonable and extortionate. Can a status access request ( SAR) be an option in this case. Could somebody kindly advise me what can I do in this situation. A customer of HSBC for ten years, we are seriously thinking about leaving it now. Many thanks
