I was just wondering how does it translate to my case where the bank has given me Print out of the statement in a paper (has the logo etc) and stamped on each page 'This is a true copy'.
Does it have the bank stamp too in addition to the "true copy" stamp?

Maintaining minimum balance for current T1G holders

Also, in anticipation of the transitional arrangements being made clear, might be prudent for current T1G holders to maintain a "suitable" minimum balance in their bank accounts for the next few months. Obviously not sure what suitable is, but I am going by the minimum of 800 and doubling ...
