Are my bank statements considered alright? A bit tricky...
@william_prm_adler (8H ago| Updated 7H ago)Are my bank statements considered alright? A bit tricky situation here.
I share a bank account with a family member outside Australia. The family member is the account owner, and owns the first card, and I own the second card of the account. Since the two cards belong to one single account, the bank can only print bank statements showing card activities from both cards.
The transactions include "date", "description" (merchant), "currency amount (my home country)", and "last four digits", and include both English and local language for these titles. However, the names of the merchants were not translated into English, which means the bank statements show English names for my transactions and non=English names for transactions made by my family member.
The bank has produced an English letter certifying the number of the credit card I use, which can correspond to the last four digits for each transaction.
We were in a rush so we did not have the time to provide NAATI-certified translations for all these bank statements, leaving lots of non-English names on the bank statements.
We just provided the bank proof letter and a letter explaining that those non-English names do not come from my transactions, based on the letter produced by the bank.
Does it pose an issue? If so, will I have a chance to provide a translation?

Do you have any opinion on this? @gregormendel
at this point, you just have to wait and see. Yes, if they are not satisfied, they will ask for more documents.
