Bank Statement for Stake Verification: Proof of Address Tips

Many users ask whether a bank statement can be used as proof of address for Stake verification. A bank statement may be useful if it is accepted by the platform and clearly shows the required information.

What a bank statement should show

A strong bank statement usually includes full name, residential address, issue date, bank name or logo, complete document and readable text.

Original PDF vs screenshot

Original PDFs or official downloads are usually stronger than mobile screenshots. Screenshots can be cropped, incomplete or harder to verify.

Common rejection reasons

A bank statement may be rejected if the address is missing, the document is too old, the name does not match, the file is a screenshot, the document is cropped, the text is unreadable or the PDF was edited.

Privacy safety

Bank statements contain sensitive data. Do not post them publicly. Do not send them to strangers. If asking for help, describe the issue without showing private information.
