Your case is peculiar as rules say the bank statement must have the name of your parent. You will have to ask your sponsor if UKVI will allow your application if you could prove them the company is owned by your parent.
Thank you for your reply. The sent this bank statement and the response wasn’t straightforward. They are saying the UKVI only accepts bank statements from a company that is international and trading in more that one country. But from what I have read this is the case if I was being finiacilly sponsored by a company and it clearly states that this company cannot one owned by any relatives. My case is not a letter of sponsorship but an actual bank statement with the account name of my fathers company
This is to avoid anyone claiming to hold funds from a dodgy company. As you know, UKVI accepts bank statements only from its approved banks.
The question is how do you expect UKVI to accept the company is owned by your parent without the bank statement on their name. I think you are weakening your visa application in a mandatory requirement even though the rules have been shown clearly. The funds should be at your disposal. If your parent owns the company, they could have transferred it to your account or to the account in their name and with a letter of consent your visa application will be strengthened. In UKVI rules, if anything is said "must" it is must and there is NO leniency. See point (iii) in my post above.
I think the funds must in your parents personal account if you intend to use your fathers money. You must understand that other forms of funds such as shares, bonds and pension funds are not allowed, so only cash funds are allowed!!
Ok I understand. I just thought it would suffice, as he uses the account as a personal account and most, if not all of the transactions clearly states his name.SamTiger wrote: ↑Thu Dec 20, 2018 6:18 pmThis is to avoid anyone claiming to hold funds from a dodgy company.

Okay Thank you. You’re right, it’s not worth the riskpride88 wrote: ↑Thu Dec 20, 2018 10:39 pmI think the funds must in your parents personal account if you intend to use your fathers money.

It is not worth the risk.
Yes, that's correct. The rules are very clear that any bank statements used must must be from a personal account, not a business or company account. I do not know why SamTiger thinks statements from a parent's company account are acceptable if you provide extra evidence that the company belongs to your parent and/or that the money is available to you as personal funds, but this is not correct.
If the first day for your funds is 21st Dec then 28th day falls on 17th Jan 2019. You can submit statements with your visa application on the same day.
I advised OP to check with their sponsor but I have stressed the importance of having funds in personal accounts on the applicant's or their parent's name.

Would you also know if the bank statement needs to have the “date of the statement” as the guidance policy doesn’t mention this, it only refers to the closing balance. Looking online, a few universities list the “date of the statement” as one of the requirements but must of them seem to a few months old since they were lasted edited. Which do I follow?
I’m asking because the statement I plan to use always shows the first and then the closing balance, no mention of when it was printed
Your bank statement(s) should show the funds have been kept for the period of 28 days. So, the statement(s) should show a 28-day period from opening balance date (in your case, 21st Dec) till closing balance date. You can get your statement printed on 17th or 18th of Jan 2019 so that it shows 28 days. That would do.
