It can be any bank back home also,give them bank statement of 6 months along with bank letter. Letter must have phone numbers of bank to verify.

Absolutely yes. Read your visa office instructions one more time carefully anyway.

Visa office is London and one more thing they are not asking for bank statement they ask for bank certification letter do I still need to give them bank statement because I doubted my bank back in my home country will issue it in my absence they need my presence their for it because they need my signatures they can only issue bank confirmation letter mentioning the account number my details and amount in the bank at present time. Please advise. Thanks
