Who needs the bank statements?
As part of tighter government regulation for borrowing money, most consumer loans require bank statement data as part of the loan evaluation. As a bank, we need to make reasonable inquiries into your ability to repay the loan. Bank statements are an important part of this reasonable inquiry.
Why are bank statements important?
Some of the things your bank statements will show are your income, that you frequently paid wages, other loan repayments and your living expenses. These factors help determine you can afford to pay back the loan.
How many months of statements are required?
We require 6 months transactional statements to validate the ongoing transactions.
What happens if I do not wish to provide my internet banking details?
You are in no way obligated to provide your internet banking details online if you do not wish, to and nor is it a condition of your application. You are able to provide 6 months transactional statements as a hard copy or scanned copy.
What accounts do I select?
All accounts that you own – do not select accounts that you may be an authority or guarantor on. Select all accounts where your salary is deposited.
What if I have accounts with multiple banks?
You will need to repeat the process, entering in your banking credentials for each account that you own.
