How many years bank statements do you keep?

[LisaJool]

Apologies for the riveting thread but I need to do a clear out and one part of me wants to get rid of any statements that are two years old, but a very small part of my brain is telling me that I might get accused of money laundering in 2017 so it will be useful to have them to clear my name 😬. Looking for permission to shred them I suppose!

I haven't received a paper statement for years. It's all online.

Zero - have not received a physical statement in years. All online.

Shred, you can always get copies if ever needed.

Did you commit money laundering then??
I don't keep any as I opted out of paper bank statements years ago

I look through them then shred immediately

I haven’t had a paper statement for at least 5 years, probably longer!

Don't think I've had bank statements since about 2015! I bank with Chase now so paper statements aren't even an option I don't think

As most others have said, I have none because they're all online.

Zero printed. However many years I can go back to online.

None - haven’t had paper statements in at least 12 years

@123rd no I haven't, but you don't know my luck there's always a chance? My bank went paperless in 2020, but I have the statements from when I opened the account in 2016. The shredder it is!

Shred the lot, and if you're anything like me, enjoy the satisfaction of getting rid of it all!

None, if you need them then you can get them online. If you need a paper copy, you can request the bank to send you this for any time period.

None
Everything is online
