The client is issued a statement on the Alfa-Bank card, current account, credit account and other accounts instantly. You can always draw up a power of attorney to receive it for all accounts so that, with the help of relatives or loved ones, you can control the financial flow.

What information does the extract contain?

This is a document containing information on transactions from a card or other account. The extract details:

Balance at the moment.
All operations performed.
Absence of any movement.
Operations involving the receipt of salaries or transfer of funds from an individual or legal entity.
The dates of the described operation and the amount of expenditure or receipt.
Current loan debt (applies to credit cards or loans).

Sample
Any client has the right to request it from the bank and will not be refused. An account statement allows you to control the flow of finances for the client’s personal purposes. You can also receive a statement for the purpose of providing it to someone to show the status of your accounts.

Requirements for a certificate of employment

Consulates ask to provide certificates on the company’s letterhead and not 2-NDFL, since this form does not contain data important for the consul. The work certificate for a visa must include the following information:

Date of issue.
FULL NAME.
Job title.
Start date of work in the organization.
Average monthly salary.

For most countries, the certificate must be issued no earlier than 30 days before applying for a visa. Some Schengen visas require a certificate to be valid for 14 days. If the certificate is issued to the director, then the deputies or the chief accountant can sign it.

It is not recommended to sign certificates for a relative or namesake. If you and the director have the same last name, we recommend that in this case you sign the certificate to the chief accountant.

How can I replace a certificate of employment for a visa?

You can replace a work certificate in several ways:

An individual entrepreneur provides copies of TIN and ORGN as proof of employment. Some countries may require a certificate of turnover in an individual entrepreneur's account.
The pensioner provides a copy of the pension certificate and, optionally, a certificate from the work of the sponsor (close relative) or a certificate from the bank about the availability of funds in his account or the sponsor's account.
Pupils/students provide a certificate from the place of study and a certificate from the sponsor's work.
The unemployed provide a certificate from the sponsor's place of work.

If you are unable to provide proof of employment for a visa

or replace it with other documents, contact our managers for advice on your specific country. In most cases, we manage to help our clients.

Types of statements

Which Alfa-Bank account statement a person receives depends on his needs and timing. The bank provides information from a card or personal account at different times depending on the type.

Sample certificate from a bank for a Schengen visa

You are unlikely to need the provided sample certificate for a Schengen visa, since the bank prepares the certificate independently upon your request. There are no strict requirements for the wording of the embassy. The period for issuing the certificate should be no more than 30 days.

A bank certificate or account statement for a Schengen visa is required to confirm financial solvency. Now you will have no doubts about how to get them and how to process them correctly.

Have a nice trip!

For what purposes does an individual need a bank statement?

Our service experts remind you that an account statement is sometimes needed in a number of life situations. Usually:

When closing a loan agreement, it is recommended to obtain a bank statement with a zero balance. Such a statement confirms the absence of debt, and also that the bank has no claims against the client. If questions arise regarding the debt, the extract can be shown in court as a defense.
If you have a debt to the bank, a statement is also required. It indicates all payments made by the borrower, as well as interest and penalties written off. When considering a credit case in court, the extract will be taken into account.
To confirm transactions in cases where the recipient did not see money from the payer. The statement will help confirm that money was debited from the account and the date of this transaction.
Embassies of various countries sometimes require a statement of a citizen’s personal account to obtain a visa to their country. As a rule, each embassy has its own recommended balance that should be on the client’s account. The statement confirms the person’s solvency and availability of funds. This statement is drawn up according to the sample of a specific bank; there is no standard form for it.

Closing a loan, unfair trading operations, etc.
— situations when the statement is very useful. For a debit card, a statement is needed to control the balance of funds. In it you can see all receipts and debits of money, including for card servicing and other payments. You can find out the dates and amounts of any transactions.

How to obtain a visa extract?

A visa extract is a special type of document. The embassy gives permission to a traveler to enter the country with confidence that he will not be left there without a means of subsistence. The statement shows how much money is in a person’s account.

Some countries do not allow people with a balance less than the required amount.

Alfa-Bank issues a visa statement at the branch in English so that there are no difficulties in other countries. Help displays information about:

Details of all accounts.
Their owner's data.
Balance on the card initially and currently.
Conducted consumable and natural operations.
Final balance.

The extract is valid in any authority if it has the seal and signature of a bank employee.
You cannot issue such a document online; you need to come with your passport to an Alfa-Bank branch and submit a written request.

How to get an extended Sberbank statement on a card?

The most detailed information about transactions on a client’s account for any period can be obtained at any branch of Sberbank of Russia.

To do this you should:

Contact any operator.
Fill out the application form and present your passport and card.

This service is provided free of charge. In this case, the client has the right to request a printed or electronic form of the document (in the second case, the extract is sent to the client’s email specified in the application).

Methods for obtaining an extract

Alfa-Bank provides a certificate to a Russian citizen in various ways:

In the form of a message when the notification service is activated after submitting a request.
In your Alfa-Click personal account or its mobile equivalent immediately after submitting an online application.
At a bank branch upon written application from the client.
At any ATM if you have a plastic card.

An extract is issued upon each client request. Remotely 24/7, and in the form of a certified document only during business hours on weekdays.

Requirements for issuing a certificate

Where to get it?

You must request an account statement for a visa at the banking institution where the deposit, account is opened, wages are calculated or a debit card is opened.

A certificate is issued only after presenting a document confirming your identity.

You can also get a certificate from a trusted person. In this case, the bank presents the recipient’s passport and a power of attorney certified by a notary for him.

Many banks have mobile applications and personal account services, thanks to them you don’t have to worry about how to make an account statement for a visa.

They make it easy to request help online . The completed document will be sent by email or you can pick it up at your nearest bank branch.

However, we must remember that the Embassy requires the originals of the document, so with a printed certificate you will still have to visit the bank to affix a signature and seal.

The required amount of money and its calculation

To travel to a foreign country, it is important to clarify in advance the required amount of money for issuing a visa. As a rule, it is based on a certain amount per day per person.

If there is a lack of funds in the account, a visa will simply not be given; foreign authorities tend to allow only wealthy people into their territories.

On average, foreign countries set a limit of 40-70 euros/day , that is, for a two-week trip you need to have about 2000 euros in your account.

Contents and type of document

The certificate issued by the bank does not take into account the availability of credit money, but may include all deposit funds with:

deposits;
accounts;
kart.

The document is printed in A4 format only on the letterhead of the banking institution, with a raw round seal and the signature of the bank’s administrative person affixed at the bottom.

A bank certificate for a visa contains the following information:

Bank details.
Personal data of the recipient of the document according to the passport.
Account numbers, opening dates and expiration dates.
Cash balance.
Cash flow for the requested period of time.
Date of issue of the certificate.

How long to wait and how much does it cost?

Issuing a certificate is free in most cases , but some banks may charge between 200-1000 rubles for this service.

Paper production time is 1-3 days after request.

In Sberbank, a document is often generated at the time of application, if the bank is not busy.

Validity

The more recent the document, the greater the chances of obtaining a visa. It is recommended to find out how long an account statement for a visa is valid in each specific case at the Embassy of the country where you are planning a trip.

The relevance of the document can be from 3 weeks to 3 months .

Other options for confirming financial solvency

You can also confirm your well-being using other options:

Salary certificate from place of work. Contains information about the position held, period of work and actual salary. The amounts received must correspond to the Embassy's requests. It is also recommended to indicate that the tourist has retained his job for the duration of the trip.
Salary certificate in form 2-NDFL.
A receipt from an ATM confirming the availability of deposit money on the bank card.
A receipt for the purchase of currency from a foreign country where you are planning a trip. The receipt must reflect the amount for the entire trip.
Sponsorship letter if the trip is paid for by another person.

For what purposes can I obtain an extract?

Alfa-Bank clients request a certificate of account status for two reasons:

Out of personal interest for informational purposes. Any remote statement in full or reduced size is suitable here.
For submission to various authorities. Services and organizations only accept signed documents. A person needs an extract from Alfa-Bank with stamps.

If you are not sure about the form of the statement, then immediately ask Alfa-Bank what document they want to see. This will reduce the time and speed up the process of issuing the certificate already described.

Certificate from the bank for a Schengen visa

The financial document provided to the consulate must fulfill its main function, namely to show that the visa applicant is able to pay all his travel expenses independently and has no intention of staying in a foreign country. To do this, the applicant must have a clear connection with his homeland - a job with a good salary, real estate, a bank account. After all, if a person has enough money, then he is unlikely to have thoughts of illegally emigrating to Schengen countries. At least, if he has such a desire, he will carry them out using accessible business schemes, and not hiding on a tourist visa. The more money a person can confirm, the more respectable he looks in the eyes of an embassy inspection officer. European countries are interested in wealthy tourists who will come to them to spend their hard-earned money. This means that such people have a much greater chance of getting a visa for several years.

In addition to the certificate, one of the following documents can be used as a financial guarantee:

the original statement of the applicant’s account, certified by the bank’s seal and the signature of the person who issued the document. The statute of limitations for the statement must be no more than 30 days;
original and photocopy of the passbook;
photocopy of the front side of the card (the card must indicate the owner's first and last name) + ATM receipt (ATM receipt is valid for 3 days from the date of receipt);
bank guarantee from the inviting party (private person). It consists in the fact that the bank blocks a certain amount in the inviting person’s account in the name of the applicant. As a rule, such a document is drawn up by large world-famous banks. Insurance companies also prepare a similar document.

The latter type of confirmation is used extremely rarely. Basically, applicants provide the consulate with an original bank statement about their account balance. Please note that the embassies of some countries require not just a statement reflecting the amount as of a certain date, but a document showing the flow of funds for the last 3-6 months. Personally, I also always submitted extracts and even if the embassy did not require it, I showed the flow of funds. Of course, if you deposited the entire amount on this day, then it is better not to show the movement so as not to raise unnecessary questions. In addition, making an extract is quick and easy. It is issued immediately upon the client’s request by a bank employee. Some banks charge an additional fee for issuing a certificate, but not for an extract. In this case, the bank in which you have an account does not matter and does not affect the issuance of a visa. Whether it is Sberbank, Tinkoff or Alfa Bank - it doesn’t matter. You can keep your money in the financial institution you see fit. Even if it is a small local bank.

Most Russians provide documents confirming their financial status in ruble equivalent. But this is optional. You can open an account in dollars, euros, or pounds sterling. Some embassies, in the case of currencies other than those I listed above, require the bank to display the currency conversion rate on the certificate at the time of issue.
