Getting ready to study in the UK is exciting — but let’s be honest, it can also feel overwhelming.
From the visa process to university applications to money matters… it’s a lot.
And right in the middle of that process is one simple but crucial thing: your bank statement.
At Eternal Associates, we’ve seen amazing students — smart, hardworking, ready for the world — get their UK visa rejected just because they chose a bank that UKVI doesn’t accept.
Heartbreaking, right?
That’s why we created this guide: to protect your dream.
Why the Right Bank Is Not “Just a Bank”
You’ve probably heard you need to show bank documents when applying for your student visa.
But not all banks are treated equally.
UKVI (UK Visas and Immigration) only trusts a specific list of banks in Bangladesh. If your statement comes from a bank not on their list, they won’t even consider your application — no matter how much money you have saved.
That’s not fair, but it’s reality. And it’s avoidable — if you know the rules.

What a “Perfect” Bank Statement Looks Like
Your statement must:
✅ Be on official bank letterhead
✅ Show your full name and account number
✅ Cover at least 28 continuous days
✅ Be no older than 31 days
✅ Show funds in BDT or GBP
“I still remember many times students came to with rejection due to bank statement. They had done everything right, but their bank wasn’t on the approved list. It broke our heart.
That’s why, now, we guide every student like a younger brother or sister. We don’t just process documents. We care.”
