Providing Bank Statements

Bank statements for all accounts that you hold must be received for loan applications to be considered. This allows us to ensure that your credit union loan is affordable and will not put you under financial stress.  If you are applying for a new loan we will require statements covering the previous 2 months, if you are applying for a 'Top Up' loan then we will need statements covering the previous month.

 

Here's how you can provide your statements: 

 

1. Use Open Banking

The simplest way is to provide your statements through open banking. We want this to be simple for you, so we’ve teamed up with consents.online to provide an alternative way to provide your bank statements. They provide you with a safe and secure way to share your information online using Open Banking technology, it’s as easy as logging into your online banking.

It’s easy to use and fast, simply give consents.online permission to share your account information and they will then give us a one-time only access to see the transactions on your bank account for the last 90 days. 

 

You can connect your bank statements by clicking here and following the instructions. 

 

2.  Paper Copies.

You can post or bring your bank statements to one of our offices however we can not be held responsible for any that go missing in the post.

 

3. Download your statements

You can download your statements via your online banking and then email them to us at either loans@wccu.co.uk for our Chester office or ep@wccu.co.uk for our Ellesmere Port office.  Details of how to download your statements for most of the main banks can be found below.

We are not permitted to accept:

  • Screenshots, or mobile phone app statements as these do not show the account holder’s name, address and account number.
  •  Mini-statements
  • Selfies holding the paper statement

 

Mobile Banking Apps don’t always permit you to view or download bank statements, however it  is always possible to login to internet banking via the bank’s website. Mobile banking websites are often simplified with limited options. If you do not have access to a PC or laptop to view the full internet banking website then on your mobile browser options ‘request the desktop site’ which will then display the full options which should then allow PDF downloads of bank statements or ‘print to PDF’.

The following guide can help you with accessing your online statement, or downloading your statement in PDF format, with most of the current account providers in the UK.
