Do security clearances look at bank statements?
You don’t have to provide the information (such as bank statements) but the clearance process will stop if you don’t provide it. The investigator will interview anyone you listed on the SF-86. They may also interview other people not listed on the SF-86 whose names come up during the initial interviews.
