Instructions
Step 1
The most obvious way to check your balance is to view it through an ATM. To do this, you need to find the section "Personal account", "Balance" or "Mini-statement". Different banks call it differently, but it is always recognizable. There you can see how much money is on the card, right on the screen, or get a printed receipt with the amount. In addition, some banks offer to know a few recent transactions performed with the account. This method is inconvenient because you will have to look for the nearest ATM in any case to check the account.
Step 2
Another way to always know your balance is SMS-informing. All or almost all banks provide this service and it is very inexpensive. The essence of the service is that your mobile phone number is tied to the account and a notification is sent to this number for any operation with it. Thus, it is enough to save all or at least the last SMS received from the bank, and your current balance will always be stored in your phone. The disadvantage of this method is that with its help you can only receive information about the state of the account, but not manage it.
Step 3
The third way to check your balance is a mobile bank. In fact, this is a program that is installed on your computer, synchronizes in a certain way with your account and allows you to manage it without leaving your home. With the help of a mobile bank, you can not only find out the current balance, but also transfer money or pay for services and goods via the Internet. True, if something happens to your computer, the program will have to be installed and synchronized again, but you do not reinstall the system every day, and the price for convenience is not so high.
