Driven may request you to submit your bank statements as part of your financing application if you are unable to connect your bank digitally.
If you manage your banking transactions yourself, here are 3 easy steps to get your statements online.
- Log into Online Banking
Go to your bank’s website and login to their online banking page. We advise you access their website on your desktop instead of mobile to make the process easier.
- Find Your Monthly Statements
Find the section that'll allow you to view your monthly statements. For example, if you’re with TD, there will be a button called “Statements & Documents” in the top left corner of your screen. For other banks, some terms you may see to describe this tab are:
- "Download statements"
- "Download transactions"
- "Export account history"
- "Download account details"
- "View e-statements"
To make sure you have the right statement on hand, the document should have copies of your cheques on the bottom.
- Download Your Statements
Next, you can pick the date range you want statements for. Driven asks for at least 6 months of your bank statements in PDF format. Click the download button and this will save the documents onto your computer.
If the documents don't automatically download, it'll likely open up in a new browser window instead. When this window appears you will need to click the "Print" button, and when the printing options window appears, click "Change Printer" and then "Save As PDF". This will save your statements as a PDF onto your computer.
