Switch from printed to online bank statements? This is how to do it

Authorities often need receipts or bank statements for certain account transactions for the purposes of taxation, for example. You may also need to attach a bank statement to a Kela application. If you want to attach a bank statement to an online Kela application, you can easily save the bank statement as a file to your computer or device and then attach the file to the application.
