Britons ignoring bank statements

Fraud experts recommend statements are checked each month

Nearly one in five current account holders never open their bank statements to check their accuracy, a Royal Bank of Scotland survey suggests.

A further 23% of people said they only checked their statements occasionally.

But at the other end of the scale, one in six people said they kept track of how much money they have in their current account on a daily basis.

Fraud experts recommend that current account holders check their finances regularly, at least once a month.

Royal Bank of Scotland surveyed nearly 2,500 adults for the survey.
