Can't you look at your yearly bank statements and show them the number to put ?

Doesn't your bank have an online login to your account where you can see these details ?

If you can show them that info they can just add it to the letter and print it out with the bank's letter head and that would work.

I think it's pretty dumb for a bank to ask you to pay for hourly research fees.

In the worst case if you have no online statements and you didn't save any paper statements from the year just tell the bank that you want copies of Bank Statements for the last 12 months. Then you can see the deposit total at the bottom of each statement and add your own total and tell them to add that to your letter.

I would ask to speak to a bank manager if someone is asking you to pay hourly research fees. That's really a joke.

It sounds to me like the person telling you this didn't know what they were talking about. I'd want to talk to a manager. Surely they can help you.

List of people to hate...

1. Lawyers

2. Insurance companies

3. personal bankers

I wrote the letter myself, though my bank doesn't charge for reseaech and if they did the next thing they would get from me would be a withdrawl slip! My banks' "branch President" researched my account, typed my letter into her computer, printed it and signed it before I could finish the coffee she offered me while I waited. Why do people tolerate being treated like dirty monkeys by their bank?

Option 1: write the letter yourself, do your own research and let them verify it, it ought to take them 30 seconds or so, what is the charge for 30 seconds?

Option 2: Attach 12 months bank statements and add the deposits your self.

Option 3: Do you earn enough money to qualify? Forget the bank letter, it is not necessary anyway

THEN look around for a new bank. It is absolutely ridiculous to conceive of "personal bankers" and then charge for their service. Frightening really. We have run most of the manufacturing out of the country with draconian tax laws until we are now a service based economy and we are LOUSY at service. Really, this stuff needs to be stood down by everyone or they will choke us to death with fees for everything anyone does. Customer service is a cost of doing business and the banks need to accept that. Mine does.

I never got a bank letter, I just made copies of the previous 12 bank statements. We had absolutely no problems. Good luck :thumbs:

do you really need a bank letter and bank statements if the Cosulate doesn't request it? I did a bank letter, but it just says how much I had in the bank, how long I've been a customer with them......and they notorized it. If you make enough to support Fiance, do you need all of that really?
