UKVI stands for UK Visas and Immigration, which is the UK government department responsible for managing visa applications and immigration services. UKVI's role is to decide who can come to the UK and for how long, and to ensure that the immigration system is safe and transparent.
To approve the financial institutions and banks that may be used to offer financial evidence for a visa application, UKVI also establishes the rules and specifications for getting a UK visa. Applicants can be ensured that their financial documentation meets the requirements and will be accepted by UKVI by using a bank that has been approved by UKVI.
