How to find out the status of your Rostelecom personal account?

What is a personal account

This is a personal account for each Sberbank client. If you plan to use the services of this bank, then open a personal account there, through which all transactions will take place. The personal account number is unique and belongs strictly to one client.

Classic Sberbank card with design

Personal account options:

• for individuals. They are often also called current. Opens as part of a salary project or simply at the client’s request. The person manages the account himself, controls the movement of funds through it;
• for legal entities. More often called settlement and opened within the framework of cash settlement services. That is, this is already a company account, which is actively used to work with counterparties, pay taxes, etc.

We will look at how to check a Sberbank personal account if it is opened in the name of an individual. Legal entities usually do not have such questions; they are well aware of all the methods, use banking or have an accountant on staff who deals with this issue.

It’s good if a card is linked to your account, then you can use any ATM to get information: just insert the card into it and get the information. If we are just talking about an open account, then other options will be relevant.

Current account structure

A current account (CA) is a sequence of 20 digits issued by a bank to its client - an organization or an individual entrepreneur. Having this digital combination in hand, you can find out a lot about its owner, for example, the purpose of using the account, what currency the money is stored in, and even the number of the branch where it was opened.

Let's now take a closer look at what each number (or rather, a group of numbers) means using an example. Let's say the account is 111.22.333.4.5555.6666666. Each group in this combination has its own meaning.

The first 5 digits of the current account have a separate interpretation. In addition, each account currency also has its own digital value. But this is described in detail in the article Decoding the current account number.

How to check your Sberbank account via the Internet

If you opened a bank account, most likely, you were immediately offered to connect to free Internet banking. If you agreed to this, you have credentials to log into Sberbank Online. In this case, you can check your Sberbank personal account at any time of the day by simply logging into the system.

Please note that access to Sberbank Online is given only to card holders. If the card is not linked to a personal account, this option is not suitable.

According to information on the Sberbank website, to connect to banking you need the card itself with the SMS Bank service attached. Next, registration can be done at a Sber ATM or independently when logging in, indicating the card number.

If the card is linked to a personal account, the procedure for obtaining information is as follows:

1. Log in to Sberbank Online using your username and password. All your cards and accounts will be immediately displayed on the main page of the service.
2. You can view your balance, view transaction history, order statements, etc.

You can also check your personal account at Sberbank via the Internet using its special mobile application. It has the same functionality as Sberbank Online, but is simply intended for use from a smartphone. You can download the application, open it at any time and view information on cards and accounts.

Checking erroneous suspension of account transactions

Sometimes an order from the tax inspectorate to suspend all transactions on a current account is sent to the bank in the absence of an objective reason.

Every bank client has the legal right to check the reason for blocking their account.

If the reason indicated on the Nalog.ru website (nalog.ru) is erroneous, then the account must be immediately unblocked. In this case, the tax authorities are required to justify the occurrence of the error due to which the account was blocked.

The account owner can confirm the error by providing:

• Account statements - confirm payment of tax;
• A receipt (with inventory and stamp) from the post office, which will confirm the dispatch of the declaration in a timely manner;
• The act of reconciliation with tax data will confirm the absence of debt.

How to find out the balance of a Sberbank personal account by phone

If you do not have a card linked to your account, you can use the bank's hotline to obtain information. In general, this option cannot be called particularly convenient: if a person is waiting for funds to arrive in his account, several calls may be necessary. Still, it’s much easier to go to banking and track information there.

But if the option of receiving information by phone suits you, you can use it. To check the personal account of Sberbank of Russia, call toll-free number 900. You will need to provide information about yourself and give a code word - this information is needed to identify the client.

Information about the balance status will be announced by the operator or sent by the client via SMS message. Calls to the hotline are accepted around the clock; your region and clock time do not matter.

How to check the balance on a Sberbank card at an ATM

If you have extra time, you can always use the terminal of Sberbank or a third-party credit organization and view the balance of your Sberbank card on its screen. If you do not have enough experience using ATMs, use the following instructions:

• Insert your credit card into the ATM.
• Enter your personal PIN.
• Before you is the main menu of the program. Select the "Request Balance" field.
• Decide on the option to view your balance: on the screen or on the receipt.

Be careful: to request a balance, it is better to choose Sberbank ATMs directly, since when carrying out this operation at ATMs of other credit institutions, a commission will be debited from the account.

Carrying out this operation can also help those users who do not know how to check whether a Sberbank card works or not. For such a check, you just need to request the account balance: if this action is performed and the balance is withdrawn, the card is active.

Checking your balance through Sberbank Online

How to check the balance on a Sberbank card without leaving home? Very simple – thanks to modern internet banking. You can check your card balance online using this method by connecting a special card.

This action can be performed at any branch of Sberbank by presenting to the employee any card of a credit organization and an identification document. You can activate the service using any Sberbank terminal.

True, when using public computers or connecting via a public Wi-Fi network, do not forget about the security rules - in particular, check the “Someone else’s computer” checkbox (so that the password for your personal account is not saved on this computer).
