How do I download my online bank statement (eStatement)?

Most banks will give you the option to download your statement from the ‘Statements’ or 'Services' section of your account when you log in to their online banking system.  

Some give you the option to download in PDF or CSV (Excel) format. Make sure you download the PDF version.

For more help on how to download your online statement please see the guides from major banks in Ireland below.

My bank statement is saved to my computer, but I need to use my smartphone to take the picture of myself – how do I switch between devices?

As part of the process, you will have the option to start the process on your computer or laptop, switch to your smartphone to take your photos (your ID document and the picture of yourself) and move back to your computer or laptop to upload your bank statement. 

The below screen will appear.

When you select ‘Prefer to use your mobile?’ this screen will display 'Send a link to your mobile.'

You can enter your email address within the text field which will send you a link that you can open in your emails on your smartphone and continue the process or use the QR code link. 

The QR code link is the black and white box on screen that looks similar to a barcode. 

To use the QR code link, open your camera on your smartphone and hover over the QR code on your computer screen. You do not need to take a picture or press any buttons; your smartphone will automatically detect and scan the code. 

When the QR code has scanned, a notification will appear at the top of your smartphone. Click the notification that displays and you will be able to continue the ID capture process on your smartphone. 

Do not close the screen on your computer or laptop as once you have completed taking the pictures of your ID and of yourself on your smartphone, the process on screen will instruct you to move back to your computer to upload your bank statement which is the final step in this process.

Why am I getting an error message when I click on the link within the email?

I received an address verification letter. What is it for?

I have submitted a joint application, do we upload our documents to the same link?
