bank statement

Monthly balance report

A bank statement is a document issued by a bank summarizing account activity over a period, typically a month.

It lists deposits, withdrawals, fees, and the running balance: I check my bank statement every month for unauthorized charges.

Statements arrive by mail or electronically and serve as financial records for budgeting, taxes, or loan applications.
