Original bank statment or electronic copy printout?

[princepk]

Hello everyone,

I'm being sponsored by my brother who lives abroad, and his bank is also located in his country of residence. Now the bank only provides electronic copies (.pdf) format. I've got pretty much everything in this format i.e. past 6 months statement, bank letter, tax returns etc. Is it okay to printout these docs and attach them in my file? or should I really get original, manually signed (instead of electronically signed) documents and have them mailed to me?

Btw, even my admission offer letter is in pdf format. They say that there is no difference between an electronic printout and the ones my university mailed to me. its the one same thing, and it doesn't matter.

Apply online and you can upload the PDF copies of the statement.

Online statements are accepted but it would be nice if the bank officials sign the document himself with his seal. It just shows authenticity nothing else. But no problem if you can't.

I would've given originals if possible. But since my sponsor isn't in the country, I'm having trouble getting the statements. If I apply online, Can I add the electronically signed pdfs in the online database?

Yes.

One more question. I got a certain amount of money in my sponsor's account for the past six months. No transaction (deposit/withdrawl) has been done in that account for the past six months and the amount is sufficient to fund my entire MENG and living expanses. But that is not my sponsor's salary account. So other than this account and my sponsor's employer letter, do I still have to add pay slips from his own salary account to show how much money he has for himself?

Thnx

You can show multiple bank account statements and money flow is an important part. If you can show an account where there is frequent transactions.
