Your name, address, bank name and account number.
All numbered pages - even the pages that are otherwise blank. A beginning and ending balance.
A full 60-day history (for Bank Statements) or most recent quarterly statement (for 401(k), 403(b), Keogh account and IRA statements).
If there are any deposits out of the ordinary, provide a letter of explanation detailing the source of the deposit.
Accounts must be eligible for withdrawal in order to be used for proof of assets. Proof of withdrawal and liquidation is required for 401K accounts - if using assets for funds to close your loan.
If you physically go to your bank and get a statement from your bank teller, make sure your bank teller signs, dates and stamps all pages of your statement before you leave.
If you print your bank statement from your bank's website - please make sure the web address (URL) is included on the statement.
If you're providing an IRA or 401(k) statement, please note that only 60% of the vested balance after any outstanding loans can be used as available assets.
