How do I view or download account statements and cheque images online?

Find out how to view or download one or more account or credit card statements in all currencies, and cheque images in PDF format.

You can view, download and print your available documents. Since April 2016, your records have been kept securely for a maximum period of 7 years for current accounts. For Mastercard credit card statements, the retention period is 7 years since August 2020.
 

Before getting started, make sure you have:

• The Manage statements permission and the associated right to View
• At least one account group with one account  
  
• Access to Adobe Reader (version 5 or higher) on your workstation. This software is available for free on the Adobe website 
  
• Chosen to receive your documents online for current accounts* - Mastercard credit card statements are available online, but you will continue to receive them in the mail. Foreign currency account statements are now exclusively available online.

1. Sign in to online banking for business. 
   
2. In the left menu under Accounts and transactions, click Statements. 
   
3. Click on the arrow. Select one or more accounts. You can search by account name or number. Click again on the arrow. 
   
4. Search and select the statements you want. You can refine the search by choosing a period and a category (account statements, cheque image remittance or credit card statements). The search is limited to a date range equivalent to 2 years.

• A download of a ZIP file, which contains several elements, can take a few minutes. 
  
• The ZIP file containing your statements is kept for a period of 7 calandar days. Be sure to download the file to your computer. 
  
• The cheque image is the official image, created by National Bank in accordance with the rules of the Canadian Payments Association for settlement and clearing purposes. The cheque image may be processed and used as if it were the original paper cheque. The cheque image created is therefore an "official image" within the meaning of the law and is admissible in evidence in the same way as the original paper cheque. 
  
• Manually processed cheques and certified cheques are not cleared by National Bank's automated systems, so no image exists for these items. Also, the image of a cheque debited from your bank account is not available if it was too thick, folded, shredded, crumpled, illegible or cleared before February 1, 2011. Please visit your branch to make a request. Conditions and fees apply.
