How to Translate a Bank Statement
Last updated: 2026-06-26
Bank statements are commonly translated for visa and immigration applications, loan and finance procedures, and proof of funds. This guide explains how certified bank statement translation usually works and why accuracy of figures matters.
Figures, dates and tables
A bank statement is mostly structured data — dates, descriptions, debits, credits and balances in tables. The translation preserves every figure, the table structure and the running balance exactly; numbers are never reformatted or rounded, so the document reconciles with the original.
What the receiving body looks for
Embassies, immigration offices and lenders often look at the account holder's name, the period covered, the closing balance and the issuing bank. These elements are translated faithfully and kept in position so a reviewer can read the translated statement exactly as they would the original.
Certification and currency handling
A certified translation with a certificate of accuracy is usually expected. Currency symbols and codes are preserved as printed; we do not convert currencies. Confirm any additional requirement, such as a stamped bank original, with the receiving authority.

Common questions
- Do you convert the amounts to another currency?
- No. We preserve all figures and currency codes exactly as printed. Currency conversion is not part of a faithful translation and could change the document's meaning.
