You can ask for paper statements in branch, by phone or Chat. You can choose to get them every month or every 3 months. You can also ask for your statements in an alternative format, such as braille.

* Not all cash machines allow you to withdraw £1,500 in one transaction so you may need to take out your money in multiple transactions.
† The 0% foreign conversion fee is applied 3 working days after you’ve opened or transferred to the Private Current Account (v2). If you use your debit card outside the UK before then, the standard foreign currency conversion fee of 2.95% will apply. This fee is non-refundable. Local banks may charge their own fees when you use one of their cash machines and you should make sure you understand what these are before making a withdrawal.

The gross rate is the interest rate we pay where no income tax has been deducted. Rates may change and we pay interest each month.
