We told you how a current account for an individual entrepreneur is opened at Sberbank, see the video for more details:

Conclusion

To conduct a quality business, an entrepreneur cannot do without opening a current account. Sberbank offers several packages that are suitable for both beginning entrepreneurs and small businesses with a large turnover of funds.

The normal operation of any enterprise is impossible without opening a current account. Thanks to it, a legal entity can not only store funds, but also make calculations, make and receive payments. Services for opening such products are provided by banks. One of the industry leaders is Sberbank. You need to figure out how to open an account with this institution and what package of documents will be required for this.

Pros and cons of opening an account

Opening a current account is a right, not an obligation. However, without this action it is difficult to establish normal operation of the enterprise, and in most cases it is simply impossible. In addition, this procedure has significant advantages. This action makes it possible to:

  1. Conduct a legal, transparent business without violating current legislation.
  2. Ensure the security of storage of enterprise funds, payments and settlements.
  3. It is easy and convenient to carry out payment transactions.
  4. Open salary projects for company employees.

These advantages apply to all banking organizations. Using Sberbank services allows you to enjoy the following advantages:

  1. An extensive network of ATMs and branches in all regions of the country.
  2. Making payments from 6 a.m. to 11 a.m.
  3. Possibility of remote maintenance.
  4. Providing qualified advice at any time of the day. There is a special dedicated line for corporate clients.

The disadvantages of the procedure include the following factors:

  1. The need to spend working time visiting a bank branch, collecting a package of documents, and drawing up an application.
  2. Such services are provided on a paid basis. Accordingly, the company will have to add additional costs to the budget both for opening an account and for its maintenance.
  3. In case of violations, there is a possibility of seizure and subsequent blocking of funds.

You also need to take into account the likelihood of bankruptcy of a banking organization, due to which the company will not be able to fulfill its obligations to counterparties on time. However, in the case of Sberbank, the risk is minimized.

Cost of the procedure

To open an account with Sberbank for a legal entity, you will have to pay. The bank wastes the time of its employees and its own resources. You will have to pay for both opening (a one-time payment) and maintenance. You should understand in detail the Sberbank tariffs that apply to this service.

For opening accounts

Now (September 2018) you can use the option for free if you choose a ready-made service package. If registration takes place on individual terms, the price will depend on two indicators: the region of registration of the client and the currency of the account. As an example, the cost of the service in several regions is given:

  1. If the company operates in the Vologda region, you will have to pay 1,800 rubles for opening (1,900 rubles for an account in euros).
  2. When registering an enterprise in the Altai Territory, you will have to pay 2,500 rubles, regardless of the currency.
  3. The cost of opening for enterprises in the Voronezh region is 2,000 rubles (2,400 rubles if payments are made in euros).

The largest amount will have to be paid to companies operating in the capital. For Moscow enterprises, the cost of opening is 3,000 rubles (3,300 rubles in euros). At the same time, the cost for the Moscow region (excluding Moscow itself) is 2,600/2,700 rubles, depending on the currency.

For service

Tariffs for the Moscow region

The cost of service depends on the specific tariff plan. At the moment, a legal entity can choose one of the following tariffs (the cost of service is given for the Moscow region):

  1. "Easy start." Basic service package, no service fee, but the number of transactions is very limited.
  2. "Good season." For legal entities running seasonal business. The cost of service is 625 rubles per month.
  3. "Good earnings." For enterprises that have established stable operations. Every month you will have to pay 1,290 rubles.
  4. "Active calculations". You can make up to 50 payments per month. The cost of the package is 3,180 rubles.
  5. "Great opportunities." For large enterprises. The most expensive package of services is 14,000 rubles per month.

For comparison: tariffs for Moscow

If these packages are not suitable for a legal entity, it is possible to draw up a constructor agreement including individual services. In this case, the cost of service is set individually.

How to open an account

The registration procedure consists of several stages. To carry it out, you will have to collect documents and visit one of the branches of the banking organization. Since the bank needs to verify the legality of the legal entity, the procedure may take some time.

Opening conditions

Both an individual entrepreneur and a legal entity can open a current account. The duration of the company’s activity, as well as the sector, do not matter. There is only one requirement - running a legal business. Before signing the contract, bank employees will check the company. Therefore, documents must contain accurate and up-to-date information.

Order/reservation

It will take some time to open. The company cannot always wait. If funds from a counterparty are expected to arrive in the coming days, you can use a reservation. It provides for the preliminary opening of an account with the issuance of its number to the legal entity. You must proceed as follows:


The account number will be received within five minutes from the moment the application is submitted. Only incoming transactions are allowed on a reserved account.

Documentation

The company is given no more than 30 days for further actions. During this time, it is necessary to collect all documents. To open an account with Sberbank for legal entities, you will need to collect the following documents:

  • Charter and other constituent documents;
  • an extract from the Unified State Register of Individual Entrepreneurs, as well as form P50007 from the Unified State Register of Legal Entities;
  • a card containing signatures of persons and seals of management (owners of a legal entity);
  • form with information about the organization;
  • company registration certificate;
  • letter from Rosstatistics with accounting codes;

You must have both originals and copies of these documents with you (they must first be certified by a notary). If necessary, a bank employee may require additional papers.

Identification procedure

In accordance with instruction number 28 issued by the Central Bank, a banking organization must identify a company before opening a current account for it. The check concerns the following data:

  1. Company name, legal form, registration details.
  2. Legal registration addresses.
  3. Information on the availability of permits to conduct activities.
  4. Information on the formation of the authorized capital.
  5. Information about the persons who will manage the account.
  6. Contact details.

Opening occurs only if the company has successfully completed the identification procedure. Otherwise, existing violations must be corrected.

The last stage of registration is the conclusion of the contract. If everything is in order with the documents, and the identification procedure has been successfully completed, an agreement is concluded between the bank and the company. In the future, you can open additional current accounts based on this document. That is, you will not have to collect all the documents again and submit an application.

Opening a current account through Sberbank Online

As soon as the registration process is completed, the company will have access to the Sberbank Business Online service. With its help, you can open accounts remotely. To do this you need to proceed as follows:

  1. Go through the authorization procedure.
  2. Enter menu "Invoices and statements."
  3. Select item "Create a request", then "Opening an account"(in the context menu that opens).
  4. Select currency and tariff plan.
  5. Agree with the bank’s terms and conditions (it is recommended that you read them first).
  6. Enter the code from SMS, which will be sent to the applicant’s number.
  7. Click the button "Ready".

Review of your application may take several days. After opening the account will be displayed in your personal account. Via the menu "Invoices and statements" You can monitor the application review process or cancel it.

Opening an account in foreign currency

The process of opening a foreign currency account does not differ from the standard procedure. During registration, you must indicate the currency in which the account is opened. Payment is made in rubles. The same applies to registration of services remotely. When choosing a currency, indicate not rubles, but dollars or euros. The only difference is that in this case three accounts are opened at once:

  1. To account for the currency held by the company (current).
  2. To account for the company's revenue in foreign currency (transit).
  3. And to account for currency purchased on the domestic market (special).

The cost of registration also depends on the region of operation of the enterprise. It is worth considering that you will have to pay more for the maintenance of such a product.

conclusions

Thus, opening an account with Sberbank for legal entities has its own advantages (ease of management, several tariff plans, security). To carry out the procedure, you need to collect a package of documents and submit them to the bank branch. You can reserve an account online, which will make it possible to receive funds from counterparties before the registration procedure is completed.

After registering the product, you can open new accounts through Sberbank Business Online. To do this, you need to submit an application in the service, and then wait for confirmation.

In contact with

Unlike a legal entity, it is not necessary to open a current account. However, due to the fact that it will still be needed for full-fledged and legal activities, many people immediately ask the question of how an individual entrepreneur can open a current account with Sberbank.

Why Sberbank?

Like any other bank, Sberbank has a lot of both positive and negative qualities. However, it is for individual entrepreneurs that the proposed conditions are quite favorable, compared with other financial organizations. In addition to the directly favorable conditions for opening and servicing an account, an additional advantage of Sberbank is a large number of service points, which greatly facilitates the work of individual entrepreneurs, making it more comfortable and faster.

Also, Sberbank is distinguished by its very high reliability, which plays an important role for many people who are worried about their funds and want to. No one wants to come to the bank one day and find out that all their accounts are frozen because the organization has gone bankrupt. The chance of this happening to Sberbank is extremely minimal.

Benefits of having an account

Thanks to the presence of a current account, an individual entrepreneur has the opportunity to quickly carry out any financial transactions in a non-cash manner: pay for goods and services, receive payments from other organizations and individuals, and so on. Since legal entities are required to make all payments exclusively through a current account, the absence of one for an individual entrepreneur can significantly complicate, or even completely negate all attempts at cooperation with counterparties.

In addition, if you open a current account with Sberbank for an individual entrepreneur, you can enter into an agreement on the provision of payment terminals with a plastic card. Previously, this was not particularly important, but recently more and more people understand the profitability, reliability and safety of plastic cards and use them much more willingly and more often. So, having the opportunity to pay for goods or services with a plastic card can attract more people to individual entrepreneurs

Card account

We should not forget that withdrawing money from an account into cash is not always profitable or convenient. However, if you link an individual entrepreneur’s account to a plastic card issued specifically for this purpose, you can freely transfer funds to it, and subsequently cash them out if necessary. All this is offered by Sberbank.

Opening an individual entrepreneur's current account is easier and faster than in most other banks, and high reliability and low maintenance fees will allow you to use your account comfortably and confidently. Also, this plastic card will help you pay more profitably and conveniently not only in the Russian Federation, but also in other countries, which can be very useful for those entrepreneurs who plan to conduct international activities.

Requirements for individual entrepreneurs

Sberbank has no direct requirements as such. However, there is a certain list of necessary papers that an individual entrepreneur must provide to the bank, since it is simply impossible to open a current account for an individual entrepreneur whose contract, documents or any other documents do not comply with legal requirements.

To ensure that there are no claims against the individual entrepreneur either from the bank or from the legislative bodies, it is required to provide:

  • application for opening an account;
  • certificate of registration with the tax office (it must be notarized);
  • Individual entrepreneur (also certified by a notary);
  • a copy of the extract from the Unified State Register of Individual Entrepreneurs (from the moment of issuance of such an extract to the moment of opening the current account, no more than one month should pass, otherwise it will not be considered valid);
  • a copy of the relevant certificate from the statistical authorities;
  • a copy of the license, if the activities of an individual entrepreneur are subject to licensing;
  • a copy of the entrepreneur’s passport;
  • seal impression and sample signatures of all persons who will, to one degree or another, have access to the current account (chief accountant, deputy, senior administrator, etc.).

After submitting all the listed documents, the account will be opened in the near future.

Sberbank conditions

According to what the instructions for opening a bank account for an individual entrepreneur say, tariffs and payments for its opening and maintenance may vary, depending on the territory in which the opening takes place. On average, the payment directly for the opening itself will be around 2,000 rubles, and monthly maintenance ranges around 1,500 rubles.

In addition, you can immediately write an application for connecting to Internet banking and for a corporate card. These financial instruments will eliminate the need to frequently visit the bank (and, as a result, there will be no need to waste time in line) and will allow you to easily and easily cash out the required amount if necessary.

pros

As mentioned above, Sberbank has many advantages, especially for those who want to open an account for an individual entrepreneur in Sberbank. What most entrepreneurs who are looking for a financial institution that would agree to open an account for them need to know is the fact that their funds will be completely safe at Sberbank. The reliability of this organization is unmatched among other banks in the Russian Federation. In addition, convenience and ease of service, relatively low tariffs, the absence of hidden commissions and payments, and a huge number of branches and branches in all cities of the country - all this will help you make the right choice.

Minuses

Like any other organization, Sberbank also has its negative sides. Despite the huge number of service points, the number of its clients is so large that very often you have to stand in queues at branches. Naturally, this is not acceptable time which costs money. However, once you stand in line to open a current account in Sberbank for an individual entrepreneur, you should immediately submit an application to connect Internet banking and a plastic card to this account. Thanks to the opportunities provided by such financial instruments, future visits to the bank can be minimized.

Results

Summarizing all of the above, we can conclude that opening a current account with Sberbank for individual entrepreneurs will be a very profitable and convenient solution for most citizens. Perhaps in other banks you can find lower fees for servicing, opening an account or other bonuses that are not provided by Sberbank, but when it comes to funds, it is recommended to overpay a little and be absolutely sure of their safety. This is much better than constantly twitching and worrying about whether tomorrow you will be able to work with your account or whether the bank will suddenly close (or have its license taken away).

In fact, there are many reasons why a financial institution may suddenly freeze money in an entrepreneur’s account, and not all of them depend directly on the bank, but if possible, such risks should be minimized. It’s one thing if movement on an account is stopped for a short period of time and one contract falls through, this is very unpleasant, but tolerable, and it’s a completely different thing if after an entrepreneur receives a large sum, his accounts are “suddenly” allegedly arrested, frozen, closed, etc.

Every legal entity and most individual entrepreneurs have to open a current account. Even if your business operates only in cash, LLCs are only allowed to pay taxes to the budget by non-cash payment. Sberbank is the largest bank in the country, including in terms of the number of corporate clients it serves. To be serviced by Sberbank for a legal entity and individual entrepreneur, you need to collect a package of documents.

Reservation of a current account in Sberbank

As you can see, opening a current account with Sberbank for LLCs and individual entrepreneurs is not so easy. You need to collect documents in advance, almost immediately after registering the company. While you are preparing the documents, you can use the service of reserving a current account. Sberbank offers to reserve an account through an online service posted on the website. You can receive your future account details in just 5 minutes.

A reserved account can only be used to deposit funds; you will not be able to withdraw money. Within 30 calendar days from the date of reservation, you must provide all documents to the bank. If the bank considers the documents to be correctly executed, the reserved account will become a full-fledged settlement account. You will be able to manage all accumulated funds and perform any banking transactions.

If you have not provided a set of documents within 30 days, the reserved account is canceled and the funds on it are returned to the senders.
