Hi Alexander,

I’m Shreya from DhanGuard. Yes, you can generally request a bank statement on behalf of another person, but the bank will usually require written authorization from the account holder and may ask for identification documents before releasing any account information.

A simple request letter can look like this:

Subject: Request for Bank Statement on Behalf of Account Holder

Dear Sir/Madam,

I, [Account Holder's Full Name], holding account number [Account Number] with [Bank Name], hereby authorize [Representative's Full Name], holding ID/passport number [ID Number], to request and collect my bank statement on my behalf.

I request you to provide the bank statement for the period [Start Date] to [End Date].

I have attached the required identification documents and authorization for your verification.

Thank you for your assistance.

Sincerely,
[Account Holder's Name]
Signature: __________
Contact Number: __________
Date: __________

Documents You May Need

Depending on the bank, you may be asked to provide:

• A signed authorization letter from the account holder.
• Copy of the account holder's passport, Emirates ID or other accepted identification.
• The representative's valid ID.
• Account number or other account details.
• A power of attorney, if the bank requires stronger legal authorization.

The important point is that bank statements contain confidential financial information, so simply having someone's account number usually isn't enough to obtain their statement. The bank may also require the account holder to make the request directly or complete additional verification.

If you're requesting a statement for a business bank account, make sure the authorization is signed by the authorised signatory or representative recorded with the bank.
