What is a bank statement?
A bank statement is an official summary of financial transactions occurring within a given period for each bank account held by a person or business with a financial institution.
Such statements are prepared by the financial institution. The statements are numbered and indicate the period covered by the statement. And may contain other relevant information for the account type. Such as how much is payable by a certain date.
The start date of the statement period is most of the time the day after the end of the previous statement period.
What is a bank statement used for?
Bank statements are commonly used by the customer to monitor cash flow. Check for possible fraudulent transactions. And perform bank reconciliations.
How do I get a bank statement in Uganda?
In the past, bank statements have been printed on one or more pieces of paper. And either mailed directly to the account holder. Or kept at the financial institution’s local branch for pick-up.
In recent years, there has been a shift towards paperless electronic statements. And many financial institutions now also offer direct downloads of financial information into the account holders’ accounting software to streamline the reconciliation process.
