Nothing prevents you from printing out your on-line statement.


Apart from the faff and if push came to shove it could be argued that
the dowloaded electronic document and any print of it has been
altered. A document printed on paper, with inks and machine I don't
have and matches those used by the company blows that out of the
water. There can also be problems with using a self printed utility
bill for ID verification, not everyone has photo ID.


I've never had anyone complain when I've supplied home printed material
like that for ID purposes - I think it's just considered the norm now.


It is no use to me for ID whenever I change to a new client. The
industry I am in only accepts original paper bills when carrying out
security checks.
