You will be fine - neither Experian nor Equifax show your current
account balance.

The rental agency will just look for problems in your record, bad
debts, CCJs, missed payments etc. Since you don't have any of these
you will be fine.

The fact you can put up the deposit and a months rent in advance is
good enough for most places.
