HSBC don't stamp statements which they print out for you in the branch. Mine were not stamped and HO did not seem to mind.
The guidance on HO's own website says as much:
Accounts held with other banks
If you have a bank account that does not operate exclusively online but you receive your bank statements electronically and you wish to use these statements as evidence of funds for maintenance, you should provide:
* electronic bank statements printed at the bank on their official stationary; or
* electronic statements printed by the applicant and bearing the official stamp of the bank in question. This stamp should appear on every page of the statements; or
* a supporting letter from the bank, on the banks company headed paper, confirming the authenticity of the statements.
All evidence must meet the requirements listed in the policy guidance which you can download from the right side of this page. Mini-statements from cash points are not acceptable as evidence.
