If you say no, don’t worry, you can still get your transaction history going back five years from the date of account closure. So if you
change your mind, we’ll send you what we have. There’s no charge for opting into receiving the 5-year transaction history, regardless
of when you let us know you want them. We’ll charge you for additional requests of statements though, the charge per sheet is £1
with a maximum charge of £10.
