As some will know, my DH died earlier this month. Although I was ‘in charge’ of our finances, I’ve found he’s kept all his pension advice slips and bank statements since he retired - some 15 years ago.

I don’t do internet banking, so would like to know how long GN’s keep their financial papers. I believe HRMC can trace back 6 years.

I bank online, but they still send me paper ones every 3 mths that I keep for 2 yrs. Now I'm doubting this is long enough after reading other posts...

Alioop your online statements will be there forever I’m sure you can ask for printed copies should ever need them.

I don't keep statements as I bank online, so can get what I need from there and print if needed.

I’m paperless to save the trees and money. If I need a statement I just call the bank and they send it out within 3 days.
