    Automatic regular payments save your time when you need some payments to be made in accordance with a specific schedule. Such transfers can be made to any account with ABLV or another bank. To use this opportunity, complete a corresponding application, stating frequency of payment execution, order validity period and other required details.

    For payment to be performed under your order, you need to ensure that amount of funds in the transfer currency necessary for payment execution and payment of the respective commission is available in your current account.

    Application for regular payments can be completed in the Internetbank, personally at our office, or printed out and sent by fax to your private banker.

  • Account balance management

    Account balance management enables you:

    • to maintain a set minimum account balance by replenishing this account using funds transfer from current account;
    • to maintain a set maximum account balance by transferring excess funds to another account with ABLV, e.g. your savings account.

    Please note that:

    • maximum balance can be maintained in current account only;
    • minimum account balance can be maintained in card and cash accounts only.

    Excess funds can be transferred to other accounts with ABLV only:

    • to another current account – yours or the one held by another customer;
    • to card account – yours or the one held by another customer;
    • to your savings account;
    • to your cash account.

    Application for account balance management can be completed in the Internet bank, personally at our office, or printed out and sent by fax to your private banker.

  • IBAN verification

    • IBAN (International Bank Account Number) is a number of the customer’s bank account as per international numbering standards.
    • IBAN structure: first two letters – state code, then follow two check digits and a combination of letters and digits or digits only – code of the bank and/or its branch and the account number (the number of characters depends on the IBAN length used in a particular country).
    • In electronic form, IBAN should not contain any spaces, punctuation marks or other symbols (in printed form only, IBAN may contain spaces to split characters into groups and thus make it better discernible).

    Advantages of the IBAN Format

      • IBAN allows identifying customer’s account in a particular financial institution or its branch.
      • Check digits confirm correctness of the specified customer’s bank account number.
      • Specifying account number in IBAN format, you lessen the potential for errors or delays in performing a transfer, and also lessen the possible risk of incurring additional costs due to manual transfer processing.
  • IBAN Verification

    You can verify IBAN of any country:

  • Overdraft instead of conversion

    Our commercial client pays to his suppliers in euros and sells goods for U.S. dollars.
    • Once, when it was time to pay to the supplier and our client had dollars on his account, he saw that the dollar against the euro was growing, so he decided that it was not profitable to buy euros at the moment, and it would be better to do it later.

      The client called us for advice. His private banker offered him to take an overdraft in euro secured by dollars the client had on his current account.

    • Thus the client would be able to pay in euro for the delivery immediately, and to convert later when paying off the overdraft.

      The client was correct in his forecast of currency rate change, and ultimately the cost of the overdraft was significantly lower than the rates difference that provided the client with an extra profit from the transaction.

  • Phone Bank solved the problem

    Being on a business trip and meeting with business partners, our client suddenly realized that he forgot to make a significant payment and left the account management tools at home in his safe.
    • Fortunately, a few weeks before the private banker made a regular visit to the client and asked him to add several major contractors in the Phone Bank templates. The required partner was among them.

    • The client phoned the bank and made the order to execute the necessary transfer. It took only a few minutes and allowed the client to continue the business meeting with no worry.
