An Authorization Letter For Bank Statement is a crucial document used when an individual or entity needs to grant another party formal permission to access their bank statements. This document is particularly important in the Netherlands, where it must comply with strict banking regulations, GDPR requirements, and the Dutch Civil Code. Common use cases include visa applications, mortgage applications, auditing purposes, tax filings, or business transactions where financial verification is required. The letter must clearly specify the account holder's details, the authorized party's information, specific bank account details, the scope of authorization, and its duration. It serves as a legal instrument under Dutch law to facilitate controlled access to private financial information while maintaining compliance with data protection regulations. The document typically requires proper identification verification and may need to be authenticated depending on its intended use.
