Actually or Practically speaking, Forever. Banks do not destroy any of their used cheques or receipts or statements. They will be preserved forever in a safe location. There are numerous cases where confusions or court cases arise even after 10 or 15 years of a transaction and the bank is asked to provide more details. In such cases if the bank destroys its documents, the situation would become a dead-lock, one that cannot be resolved. So banks mostly retain all their artefacts.
