Morphology

bank + statement

The meaning is directly compositional: 'bank' (financial institution) combined with 'statement' (a document listing transactions) yields an official report from a bank listing account activity and balance. This noun+noun compounding is regular and cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the MWE meaning.

Etymology

Bank statement comes from the simple idea of a bank making a statement — a written list that 'states' every deposit and withdrawal for a customer. So a bank statement is the regular record the bank sends that 'shows' what money moved and your current balance.
