Why a bank statement is being asked for

Bank statements are almost never wanted for their own sake. They are evidence of something else: funds for a student visa or an I-134 or I-864 affidavit of support, financial standing for a mortgage or a lease, means for a court, assets in a divorce or an estate, or a transaction history in a due-diligence review.

That matters because each of those wants a different span and a different level of detail — three months, six months, a year, all accounts or one — and a translation cannot fix having ordered the wrong period. Ask before you buy, because statements are long and pages are what you pay for.

Figures and dates are the hazard, not the words

A financial document is mostly numbers, and numbers are written in conventions that invert between countries. Most of the world writes 1.000,50 where the United States writes 1,000.50 — the separators swapped — and most of the world dates DD/MM/YYYY where the United States dates MM/DD/YYYY. A figure read under the wrong convention is not slightly wrong; it is wrong by a factor of a thousand, or by eleven months.

So the original figure is reproduced and the convention in use is stated, and currency is never converted. An exchange rate is a date-dependent opinion rather than a translation, and a converted total is a number the issuing institution never stated. Where a document uses a different grouping system entirely — Indian statements group in lakh and crore, so 12,34,567 is 1,234,567 — that is reproduced and explained rather than silently regrouped.

What differs between countries

A Mexican statement carries the CLABE, the standardised eighteen-digit interbank number, and the RFC tax identifier. A Brazilian one carries the CPF or CNPJ with agência and conta numbers, and PIX entries appear as a transaction type with no US equivalent. Indian statements carry the IFSC code and group in lakh and crore. German statements carry IBAN and BIC and mark the balance column with S and H — Soll and Haben — rather than a minus sign.

Chinese statements are stamped by the issuing branch and print amounts twice: in Arabic numerals and in the capitalised Chinese financial characters used specifically to make alteration visible. Both are translated, because the financial characters are the authoritative figure. In every case the account identifiers are reproduced exactly — they are what ties the statement to the person.

The certification letter is a different document

In much of Latin America a bank will issue a certificación bancaria or carta de saldo — a letter attesting the balance and the standing of the account — and that is not the statement. Offices ask for one, the other, or both, and they are priced separately because they are separate documents.

Statements also frequently run to dozens of pages. If only a period or a set of accounts is needed, send only that; we will tell you the page count before you commit.

How it works

Upload a photo or a scan of your document, pick the language pair and check out online. You never have to mail originals: a legible copy is all we need.

A professional human translator, never machine translation, translates the document word for word and mirrors the layout of the original. Every certified translation ships with a signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy that meets the requirements of USCIS, courts and universities.

Your translation is delivered digitally, usually within 24 hours for documents of one to three pages, and same-day delivery is available. If anything needs adjusting, we revise it.

Certified vs. standard translation

A certified translation is a word-for-word translation accompanied by a signed statement attesting to its accuracy and completeness. It is what official bodies require: USCIS, courts, universities and government agencies. Certified translations are $24.95 per page, where a page is up to 250 words.

A standard translation is for business or personal use where certification is not needed, such as CVs, client intake forms or marketing material, and is billed at the same $24.95 per page of up to 250 words.

Frequently asked questions

Will you convert the amounts to dollars?

No. An exchange rate is date-dependent and is not a translation — a converted total is a number your bank never stated.

My statement uses commas where dollars use periods.

Most of the world does. We reproduce the original figure and state the convention, so nobody misreads it by a factor of a thousand.

How many months do I need?

It depends entirely on who asked. Check first — statements are long and you pay by the page.

Is a bank letter the same as a statement?

No. A certification letter attests a balance; a statement lists transactions. Offices ask for different ones.

How much does it cost?

$24.95 per page of up to 250 words. A dense statement page can count as more than one.
