In support of your everyday account transactions

Authorities often need receipts or bank statements for certain account transactions for the purposes of taxation, for example. You may also need to attach a bank statement to a Kela application. If you want to attach a bank statement to an online Kela application, you can easily save the bank statement as a file to your computer and then attach it to the application.

Preauthorisations ensure that your account has enough money for paying your purchases. The seller puts a hold on the purchase amount on your card as a preauthorisation before the actual payment transaction takes place. Note that even though the preauthorisation is not a payment transaction you cannot use the funds put on hold. The preauthorisation is removed when the money is debited.

You can monitor the preauthorisations in Transactions Feed, where you will see any preauthorisations and check their contents. Click on the word katevaraus (preauthorisation) to see more details of the purchase events that make up the preauthorisation.

The account’s balance certificate shows the current day’s balance at the moment of query, in the case of death the balance on the date of death and in the case of a distribution the balance on the date of distribution. You may need a balance certificate for the distribution of an estate, pledging or for other cases where your wealth has to demonstrated. You can check the account’s current balance free of charge on OP eServices.

The account’s interest certificate shows the deposit interests that have accrued on the account by the said date but which have not yet been paid to the account. You can check the paid interests yourself on OP eServices or from a copy of bill.

The most convenient way to order a balance and interest certificate is by an online message. Please indicate in the online message the account number and the date for which the certificate is needed. Note that ordering the account’s balance and interest statement is subject to a charge.
