PART 7: POINTS AVAILABLE FOR MAINTENANCE (FUNDS)

Introduction

162. You must score 10 points for maintenance by showing you have at least £945. Overdraft facilities will not count as available funds.

Points awarded for maintenance

165. You will be awarded 10 points if:

you have personal savings of at least £945 which must have been held for a consecutive 90 day period ending no more than 31 days before the date of your application.

Documents we require as evidence of personal savings

177. Evidence must be in the form of cash funds held in an account (this includes saving accounts and current accounts even when notice must be given). Other accounts or financial instruments such as shares, bonds, overdrafts, credit cards, pension funds etc, are not acceptable, regardless of notice period.

180. Where 2 or more pieces of evidence from a single account are submitted (for example 2 consecutive bank statements), we will assess the funds available to you from the closing balance of the most recent document. Where evidence from 2 or more accounts is submitted, we will assess the funds available to you using:

• the most recent closing balance of one account, plus
• any additional money available to you on the date of that closing balance, for which you have provided the required evidence.

We will always use the closing balance date from the account that most favours you.

Only the following specified documents will be accepted as evidence of this requirement:

i. Personal bank or building society statements covering a consecutive 90 day period:
The most recent statement must be dated no earlier than 31 days before the date of the application.

The personal bank or building society statements should clearly show:

• your name; and
• your account number; and
• the date of the statement; and
• the financial institution’s name and logo; and
• any transactions during the 90 day period; and
• that there have been enough funds in your account throughout the period (The balance must always be at least £945 covering the 90 day period before the date of application ending no more than 31 days before the date of application).

All statements must be on the bank’s stationery, unless you are submitting
electronic statements.

Ad hoc bank statements printed on the bank’s letterhead/stationery are acceptable as evidence
(This excludes mini-statements from ATMs).

If you wish to submit electronic bank statements, these must contain all of the details listed above. In addition, you will need to provide either:

a supporting letter from your bank, on company headed paper, confirming the authenticity of the statements; or
• an electronic bank statement bearing the official stamp of the bank in question. This stamp should appear on every page of the statement.

We will not accept statements which show the balance in the account on a particular day, as these documents do not show that you hold enough funds for the full period needed.
