Morphology
The meaning is directly compositional: 'account' (record of monetary transactions) + 'statement' (a document listing transactions) yields a document summarizing an account's transactions and balance. This noun–noun compound follows a common and cross-linguistically transparent pattern in banking vocabulary, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
The compound account statement comes from the words account, meaning a record of money, and statement, meaning a formal report that 'states' facts. So it is a clear, official paper that 'says' what happened to your money, which is why it means an 'official summary' of recent transactions and your balance.
