NatWest are a joke

Absolutely no reason for the solicitor not to accept the downloaded statements from the app, that you've printed off. They don't show anything different compared to the physical statements.you would receive.

I worked at NatWest / RBS customer service on the phones until 2018 and it was the case then that the only paper statements we could order were the transaction lists. It sounds like it hasn't changed.

I would be pointing the finger at the solicitor for being less than accommodating. No mortgage underwriter worth their salt is going to refuse bank statements printed from a pdf in this day and age.
They will accept A4 or A5 official copy statements! They won’t accept A4 transaction list or A5 historic statements

If I go on my NatWest app and download a statement, it's standard print size is A4. The statement is exactly the same as the paper copy, with deposits, withdrawals and a running balance?
 
santander are pretty dumb too ... 'your security is our priority' as though a hacked email from them wouldn't contain my postcode and name, and a big red click this link button,
and, when were we on first name terms ?; get the same kind of junk from Lloyds

^ With Lloyds/Halifax I always laugh at the same kinds of emails with "We'll include your name, Mr XXXXXX and your Postcode, XXXXX so you know our emails are genuine"..

And have links to their online banking site in the email..

Great for random Nigerian princes of course, but trash in the modern world of cybersecurity.. we can deepfake your CEO, but knowing your last name and part of your post code, ..yeah.. way too hard..
 
Latest are closing down in Nantwich leaving a thriving quite well off town with one clearing bank, TSB and the Nationwide for checking accounts. The Cooperative is still in Crewe so I do have two current accounts, TSB and coop reasonably handy and our ISA accounts with the Yorkshire are still local.

It leaves a hole in the high street though maybe Wetherspoons will buy it.
