Why do you request my bank statement? It contains transaction information that I don`t want to share

To meet the requirements of our financial regulator, we kindly ask that you forward to us a bank statement because this record contains an official issue date. As a responsible and regulated company, we are required to first obtain a record with an IBAN that is dated within the past 3 months, in order to approve a bank transfer. 

You can conceal your transaction history on a printed statement if you do not wish to disclose specific transaction details. It means you can close it within the document (it does not go beyond its boundaries) and only on paper. Please note that the electronic version cannot be modified.  

When redacting information, ensure the document's date of issue, IBAN, and your personal details (surname, first name, and address) are clearly visible.
