Applying online for the Tier 4 (general) student Visa to the UK before having the bank statement? possible?

Question

I have all the necessary documents ready to apply for a Tier 4 (general) visa except the bank account statement which I can only have by the end of July. This is because I can only go back next week (beginning of July) to the country from where I will be applying, open the bank account and wait for 28 consecutive days (till end of July) 
As the rules of applying to a tier 4 visa state:
A Tier 4 (General) student must show that he/she has held the required money for a consecutive 28 day period (finishing on the date of the closing balance) ending no more than 1 month before his/her application.

I wonder if the only way is to wait for having all the documents to be read and then apply?
or
I can do the online application now while waiting for the bank statement and book a meeting date after having the all the documents?

Please help me figure out how to solve this puzzle. I will be grateful to hear your advice and opinions. Thank you in advance.

No the rules are quite clear.  You must have the money in your account when you apply and have held it in your account for 28 days no more than one month before your application date.  Under the scenario you are proposing you would be refused.

the best way is to do internet banking, but from which country are u applying visa? If you have ur parents there, tell them to open a account on thier name and then once u are there, u can add ur name in that account, so that before u reached the money will be in the account and u have to wait few more days before applying. The bank statement is must for applying, coz its the proof of ur funds, or best way it to apply for loan and attach a loan letter for the proof of funds.
