    A few recommendations for choosing a bank


    1) Decide what is most important to you. Cost of service, manufacturability or individual services. If you work with a tablet or mobile phone, choose a bank where you can send payments from mobile devices. If you want to accept payments on the site, see if the bank has Internet acquiring. If you work with cash, pay attention to the fee for receiving and issuing cash and the cost of a cache card (similar to a checkbook).

    2) Carefully study the rates. When opening a current account, you will need a card with sample signatures. It can be certified by a notary or a bank. The costs of certifying the card and the necessary documents are not included in the cost of opening an account and are paid separately. The cost of connecting an Internet bank usually does not include issuing a certificate and issuing a USB key. They are also paid separately.

    3) Leave a request to open an account on the bank's website. This will help to reduce the period of verification of documents by security.

    4) Check the list of documents required to open an account. If you need an extract from the USRIP, order it in advance, since after registering the IP, it will no longer be issued. The usual statement is made 5 working days.

    5) If you plan to open a plastic card in the same bank, then look at the tariffs for transferring money from a current account to a card. For example, in Alfa-Bank, transfers to a personal card of up to 150,000 rubles. per month are free. After that, a commission of 0.5% of the transfer amount is charged, at least 100 rubles.
