To keep up-to-date with your banking transactions, whether using the mobile banking/net-banking options or offline modes, a quick way is to peep into your mini statement.
Just like a standard bank statement, a mini statement is simply a list of your last 3 or 5 registered transactions.
Every bank now has this facility, be it an SBI mini statement or an HDFC mini statement. Let’s know how to check a bank mini statement, online or offline.
What is Mini Statement?
A mini statement or a mini bank statement is a simple list that has the last 3-5 money transactions. These transactions are the one you did using your bank account. A transaction made through your credit card will not be included here. Only those money transfers are listed in a bank mini statement that directly involve your bank account.
What is included in a Mini Statement?
A mini statement includes the following components:
- Your account number – only the last 4 digits (e.g. XXXXXXXXXX1234)
- Transactions – Debit shown with a ‘D’ and credit depicted with a ‘C’
This is how a bank mini statement looks like:
While some banks provide the last 3 transactions, like HDFC Bank, other banks provide a list of the last 5 transactions, like SBI.
