Using an e-ISA or term deposit as maintenance

[anotheraussie]

I need to renew my Tier 1 visa within 3 months.

Just got a shock when I realised that my savings are in an e-ISA (flexible, can put money in and take it out without penalty at any time) here in the UK and now in a term deposit (as in locked away for 6 months, can take it out but lose the interest) in Australia.

They talk about a current or savings account in the guidance - do these accounts (both of them have over £900 so I'm happy to use either) count?

I actually don't receive statements about these accounts so would need to ask my bank/s to provide a letter.

Please advise - am worried I've done something really stupid now!

eISA - no problem, provided you can arrange the statements.
Term deposit - reading this topic will help.

Thanks so much for the prompt response.

My reading of the guidance is that a letter from my bank (Nationwide) will be sufficient? As I wrote above, I don't get statements for that account unfortunately - I'm not sure why.

Any documentary evidence in the format that the policy guidance states as acceptable is fine.

Thanks!
