No longer generate desired returns and cannot protect savings from inflation. That is why Russians are actively exploring new investment instruments.

For example, Sberbank's savings certificate has become a relevant alternative for many depositors. What is this product? What should an investor remember? What is he carrying? We will answer these and many other questions in our article.

Savings certificate and its types

This document is a type of security. It confirms that the client has paid a certain amount to the bank and the right to receive it through the specified term, together with interest. You can donate, sell or leave this document to someone as an inheritance.

They are produced in two types: registered and bearer. The first type of securities in the event of bankruptcy of a financial institution is subject to reimbursement. Bearer certificates are not. If the issuer is liquidated, then the depositors will not return their money.

Important: Sberbank of Russia offers its clients only bearer savings certificates.

Main characteristics of a savings certificate from Sberbank

This product is relatively new for the Russian market. Many of our fellow citizens have no idea what kind of service this is and how they treat everything new with distrust.

But it is completely in vain. Security holders can get high profits and increase their savings.

In 2016, Sberbank issues its certificates on the following conditions:

• they are issued only in national currency;
• placement period from 3 to 36 months;
• cannot be extended - the validity period of the security cannot be rewritten;
• the minimum amount of placement is 10 thousand rubles;
• the depositor is given the right to choose: how many securities and for how long to buy, but within the banking program;
• it is issued for a specific period, therefore it is considered urgent;
• a fixed percentage is set, which is calculated when the document is issued;
• the owner of the security can present it for payment at any time, but his income is determined at the rate of 0.01% per annum for the number of days of storage;
• the amount of accrued interest is paid to the depositor together with the redemption of the security;
• all operations can only be performed by the client personally and at Sberbank branches that are authorized to do so.

The certificate from Sberbank is as follows:

Profitability of Sberbank certificates

Every investor wants to get the maximum return on their investment. Unfortunately, deposits today can only partially cover losses from inflation, and high income is out of the question.

That is why, special attention of investors is paid to certificates, conditions in which are becoming more profitable, especially for large deposits.

In 2016, Sberbank set the following interest rates for certificates:

Important: Thus, in order to get the maximum rate of 11.5%, it is necessary to purchase securities in the amount of over 100 million rubles, for a period of 1095 days. Such conditions will not interest ordinary Russians, since their savings are much less.

A comparative characteristic of the profitability of savings certificates and deposits with Sberbank is presented below.

In order to calculate the income from your investments, you can use a special calculator that is available on the Sberbank website.

For example, we decided to invest 100 thousand rubles in the bank for 367 days.

As a result, we will receive the following income:

1. The interest rate on the certificate is 8.9% per annum, and the amount of interest is 8948.77 rubles;
2. The "Save" deposit is opened at 7.98% per annum. Received profit - 8023.05 rubles;
3. On the "Manage Online" deposit, the interest rate is 6.86% per annum, and the amount of interest received is 6895.3 rubles.

These results are displayed in the following diagram.

Thus, the rate of return on savings certificates exceeds the results on deposits. But the difference is not that huge. Therefore, many Russians will continue to give preference to the usual all deposits. For example, for retirees, most banks offer higher interest rates.

Important: no preferential terms are provided for certificates.

How do I get a Savings Certificate?

If you have decided to purchase a certificate, you will need:

1. Personally contact the Sberbank branch that sells securities. The list of offices can be found on the website. From the documents, you must provide your civil passport.
2. Consult with the manager on the terms of service for this product, determine the number and value of certificates. Let us remind you that the minimum amount for placement is 10,000 rubles.
3. Pay for the cost of securities through the cashier in cash or by wire transfer from your own.
4. Get certificates.

Savings Certificates: Advantages and Disadvantages

The main advantages of this product are:

• High income. The client initially knows the amount of his income. For securities such as stocks (for example, or) everything is different. Nobody knows with what result the investment fund will end its activities.
• The client has the ability to store securities outside the bank. There is no need to withdraw your money on time. You can submit a certificate for payment at any time convenient for you, at the end of the contract.
• Issued to bearer. If you cannot go to the bank to receive money, then entrust this task to a person you trust. To do this, you do not need to draw up any powers of attorney or other documents. Whoever gives it to the bank will be paid the money.
• This paper has the same degree of protection as banknotes. It cannot be faked, which is why it is considered an excellent tool for saving money.
• A certificate is a good gift for your loved ones. This does not require any additional agreements and contracts.

Of the "minuses" of this product, we can note:

• High risks when storing at home. If robbers enter your apartment and take possession of a security, they will be able to withdraw your money from the bank without any problems. In this case, the financial institution will be obliged to fulfill their requirement.
• Not subject to compensation under the deposit insurance system. If or will be liquidated, then you can forget about your savings.
• Operations with servicing securities can be performed not in all branches of Sberbank.
• Their rights to lost documents are restored only through the courts. Until you prove your rights, attackers can use your certificate.

Which is better: a deposit or a certificate?

Many investors are interested in the answer to this question. In fact, it all depends on what goal you are pursuing and how much money you have. If you are ready to deposit up to 100 thousand rubles for a period of 36 months, then it is better to buy a certificate. The amount of profit received will be much larger.

If your savings are larger, then it is better to open a deposit. Deposits of up to 1.4 million rubles are subject to compulsory insurance. In case of bankruptcy, you are guaranteed to receive your money.

You need to give preference to the certificate even if you are ready to place funds for a short period.

Thus, a savings certificate from Sberbank is a rather interesting product that provides a significant profit for large deposits, although in fact these savings are not protected by anything.

Savings bank certificate. Fundamentals of Finance

Savings Bank Certificate: Analysis of Interest Yield in 2017

There are many different tools for retirees to preserve labor savings. In 2016, most often these instruments are deposits and deposits. But there is more and more a way to save money, such as a savings certificate at favorable interest rates. Moreover, Sberbank is the most active in promoting this instrument.

What it is?

A savings certificate is a security. This security indicates the amount of money deposited by its owner into the bank, as well as the period after which the owner of the paper will receive his money and interest. All these funds must be received from the bank that issued this certificate.

There are two types of certificates:

• registered;
• to bearer.

In this case, the last type of this security is considered. It can be transferred by its primary owner to another person, and at the appointed time, the bank will be obliged to pay all the money due according to the certificate to its bearer.

Interest

According to Sberbank, the interest on the certificate is higher than the interest on a regular deposit.

The table shows these percentages.

Indeed, if we compare these rates with the interest given by Sberbank on the highest deposit "Save", it turns out that, for example, for fairly common deposit amounts from 100,000 rubles to 2 million rubles, this contribution can bring a profit of 6.05-6.4% per annum for 3 months and 6.65-7% for 3 years.

A savings certificate with the same investments gives, respectively, 6.95-7.75% per annum for a period of 3 months and 7.95-8.75% per annum with an investment period of 3 years.

With investments over 2 million rubles, the interest on the deposit does not increase, while the interest on the savings certificate increases and with 100 million rubles it reaches 10% per annum.

Thus, from the point of view of making a profit, investing in this valuable document has advantages over a deposit for relatively large amounts.

It should be noted that the increased percentage of profit on the certificate is due to the fact that the funds invested in it are not subject to deposit insurance. Therefore, when the license is revoked from the bank, no insurance payment is required.

Considering that the probability of revoking a license from the base bank of the Russian Federation, which is Sberbank, is almost zero, it can be assumed that the insurance of the DIA system in this case does not play a special role.

However, there are other banks that issue these securities. And in such cases, before buying them, it is important to weigh all the circumstances and the reliability of the bank.

Advantages

The main advantages of Sberbank savings certificates are:

1. High interest rates.
2. Security mobility.
3. Lack of personal income tax.

The mobility of the certificate lies in the fact that it can be transferred to another person without drawing up any documents.

Thanks to this quality, the certificate is convenient for elderly pensioners.

For such persons, in the presence of a savings certificate, there is no need to draw up any will. It is enough to hand it over to his heirs.

In addition, such a certificate can be presented, for example, for a wedding or coming of age. This security can be used when obtaining a loan or in real estate transactions.

Flaws

Savings certificates have the following disadvantages:

• lack of deposit insurance;
• a complex system for restoring rights for a lost certificate;
• storage complexity;
• lack of the possibility of additional contributions, partial withdrawal of money without loss of interest, prolongation.

It is possible to restore your rights to a stolen or lost certificate only through the courts. At the same time, there is a certain procedure that takes quite a long time. At the same time, it is quite difficult for the secondary owner to prove their rights to the certificate.

The certificate is plain paper with security. However, this paper can be stolen, lost or damaged.

For its safety, the bank offers free storage. But in this case, the certificate will no longer be so mobile, and, in addition, the heirs of the deceased pensioner will be able to receive it only after entering into inheritance rights.

If you need to partially withdraw money, you have to cash out the certificate ahead of schedule. In this case, you can get only 0.01%. The lack of automatic renewal requires re-issuance, otherwise the money will not be charged interest.

conclusions

1. To keep savings, retirees can use a savings certificate, the interest on which is higher than the interest on the deposit.
2. Since it is issued to bearer, it can be passed on to your heirs without a will, used as a tool for obtaining a loan or real estate transactions.
3. The disadvantage is the lack of insurance, difficulties in storage, restoration of rights, partial withdrawal of funds.

Sberbank savings certificate for retirees in 2016, what is the interest?

Sberbank's savings certificate in 2018 promised good interest and was issued until mid-summer, until the current legislation was amended to prohibit the issuance of bearer securities (i.e. not registered). What to do to those who still have certificates in their hands and what alternative in terms of interest does the bank offer to cautious investors in 2018?

Savings certificates of Sberbank: conditions

A savings certificate is a security that confirms that an amount of money has been deposited with the bank. It gives the right to its owner to claim this amount and the interest due.

For legal entities, such a document is called a certificate of deposit.

Until 2018, there were two types of such securities for individuals - registered and bearer. The first one could be used only by the person whose data was indicated on the official form of the certificate, the last one could be used by any individual who received the document.

The savings certificate of Sberbank was printed on the official letterhead of the State Sign, today it looks like this:

Sample form of a 1990s savings certificate:

Images from a post on the banks.ru forum were used.

An interesting fact is that amendments to the civil code banning non-registered securities were adopted by the State Duma in order to implement the anti-corruption law. According to the Ministry of Finance in the country in January 2018, such certificates were purchased for 490 billion rubles (!), And in 2016 - as much as 600 billion (!), While the documents themselves do not allow identifying all participants in the turnover, but only the final “ consumer ", who receives money from the certificate, which is very convenient for hiding suspicious connections.

Return on Savings Certificates in 2018

Sberbank, at one time, was the leader among the issuers of bearer securities and was actively involved in their distribution.

There were several reasons for this:

• The certificate had the characteristics of a "hard" deposit - interest was calculated only at the end of the term, it was impossible to receive money ahead of schedule while maintaining the rate, it was impossible to replenish it, there was no prolongation. Sberbank received "long" money at its disposal, which it could safely use throughout the entire validity period of the document.
• The money was not insured, which means that the bank did not transfer mandatory payments for it to the DIA. This made it possible to give a higher interest rate than on deposits and deposits, but it imposed certain risks on the buyer.
• Latent profitability also played into the hands of the bank. Since the certificate could be easily transferred from one person to another, lost, forgotten, etc. a lot of the lost money remained unclaimed, and for Sberbank - circulating.

Thus, the profitability of Sberbank's savings certificates was, on average, higher than on deposits and deposits by 1-2 percentage points.

Denominations and interest rates of Sberbank certificates

During the period when securities were issued, rates changed from year to year, for example, in 2017 - four times, and in 2018 - twice.

Let's analyze the volatility of the yield on Sberbank Savings Certificates and what the percentage of income depended on.

The final profit was influenced by two indicators:

• Denomination - from 10 thousand to 100 million
• Term - from 3 months to 3 years.

Obviously, the profitability of the face value from 10 to 50 thousand rubles is minimal and is not affected by the term of placing the money.

The maximum percentage is valid not just for impressive, but for astronomical denominations, and the average investor will be in the range of the second and third lines.

The table shows how the interest on non-registered securities fell following the decrease in the key rate.

The rates for certificates set in Sberbank remain unchanged throughout the validity period. Income is paid only upon maturity, the concept of capitalization is not applicable for this type of investment. There is no rollover, so no income is accrued upon maturity.

Everyone who issued non-registered Sberbank certificates in 2018 will receive the assigned interest on the maturity date of the security. Early payment of money zeroes your income - recalculation is carried out at a rate of 0.01%.

Taxation and insurance of bearer certificates

It is important that the bank does not insure the money attached to the security, which means that you should not count on payments in case of a force majeure situation. But, given the reputation of Sberbank in the banking sector, the current certificate holders may not take this fact into account, but clients of other financial and credit institutions need to be on the lookout.

The taxation of savings certificates is no different from deposits or deposits, i.e., income tax is paid only if the interest rate exceeds the Central Bank rate by 5 points. Sberbank has never supported this practice, so the owner of the certificate will not be required to file a tax return.

It's another matter if you sell a certificate, because this operation is subject to the usual taxation rules: there is an obligation to pay personal income tax - tax on the profits you received as a result of the sale. In fact, it is difficult to establish the fact of making a profit from such a transaction, especially if it is not supported by a contract.

According to recent practice, when redeeming a certificate for a large amount, the bank may require confirmation of the income received, for example, a donation agreement on behalf of the former owner.

How to redeem or cash out a security

Neither banks nor any other organizations were obliged to check a specific individual for the legality of possession of such a certificate.

It was freely accepted for redemption at the Sberbank office without any questions, and the bearer, after checking the passport and the form of the security, was paid the money assigned to him and the interest due. If the document itself was kept in the bank, employees were warned about the withdrawal of money in advance - 3-5 days in advance.

Minors could withdraw money from the certificate without the consent of their guardians or parents, if they bought it on their own.

Such a simple procedure for paying money was the main risk of the owner - in case of loss, it was possible to restore the form only in court, and the money in storage was not insured.

Moreover, if you look at the appearance of the certificate (shown in the picture above), you will notice that the data on the depositor of funds is located on the spine of the security, but this data is not on the main form (the place of purchase was indicated in the “Issued” field).

According to the rules of the civil code, in order to transfer the rights to a security, it is enough to hand over the certificate form itself, and keep the spine. It was this spine that acted and acts as the only insurance in cases of theft, loss, unauthorized access to the owner's valuable document - it is presented to the court as evidence.

Thus, anyone, without your knowledge, could withdraw the certificate and freely cash it at any time, withdrawing your money and the accumulated interest.

Registration of a non-personal certificate for an individual

Any individual, starting from the age of 14, had the right to buy a bearer security for cash or by bank transfer (for example, pay from a valid account). Pensioners made transactions on a general basis.

The certificate was issued in the branches of Sberbank, which had official forms from Goznak (moreover, there were only one or two of these in a middle-class city). The procedure was not performed remotely.

The algorithm was simple:

• The nominal value of the certificate and its validity period were chosen;
• The money was deposited at the cashier;
• Instead, a properly executed document was issued.

After that, you could transfer it, donate it, lose it, pay with a savings certificate with a friend, if the agreement allowed, or repay it ahead of schedule, withdrawing all the money.

Storing, tracing and restoring a savings certificate

Sberbank by now has stopped not only issuing certificates, but also accepting them for safekeeping.

For those who managed to surrender their securities under protection, the bank promises to fulfill all obligations to the owners and is not going to forcibly return them until they are reclaimed.

In any case, if you have a 2018 Sberbank savings certificate (or earlier) in your hands, take care of its safety and minimize risks - rent a safe deposit box. The bank still accepts them for repayment, and in case of loss, another person will receive your money.

• Contact the bank branch and write a statement stating that the security has been lost - on the basis of it, they will impose a ban on redemption and cashing and notify other branches of Sberbank;
• Write a statement of claim to the court with a request to recognize the lost non-registered certificate as invalid and restore your rights on it (filed with the court at the applicant's place of residence).
• Wait for the procedural actions: within 3 months, the court will search for the owner of the security with a proposal to declare his rights (usually an advertisement is published in the local newspaper). If one does not appear, the property will be recognized for you. If there is, it will be up to the convincing evidence of each of the parties to the dispute.

Many questions arise when trying to track down inherited certificates. Unfortunately, if the document is not kept in the bank, it will not be included in the estate and in response to the notary's request, it is not mentioned about it either - Sberbank is not engaged in the search. It will be impossible to receive the testator's money:
How to use a non-registered Sberbank certificate

If you have a security on hand, you can not only store it carefully, but also actively use it to solve current problems, for example:

• Present - this is done most often. Now it is better to accompany this noble deed with a written donation agreement so that the person being gifted avoids questions from Sberbank about the origin of the funds.
• Pledge when applying for a loan or mortgage;
• Use for settlements (although the instruction of the Central Bank directly prohibits the use of securities for payment, it is almost impossible to prove this fact).
• Leave as an inheritance - in this case, it is better to leave the forms for safekeeping by renting a safe, draw up a will and indicate in it who the document is transferred to.
• To lend, observing the necessary procedures for this - drawing up a loan agreement or a receipt. You will no longer be able to get your certificate back, but the right to return the amount and interest from the debtor, enshrined in the agreement, will remain with you.
• Sell ​​- if you urgently need money, you can sell your security for a part of the interest income, this is much more profitable than paying off early.

How to replace a Savings Certificate

Federal loan bonds are gaining more and more popularity now - the state is actively selling debt obligations.

This is a conservative instrument with low risk and income 2-3 percentage points higher than the deposit or deposit.

You can buy bonds only through professional market participants - brokers, Sberbank also has one. Perhaps concluding an agreement with an intermediary is the most difficult part of the transaction. One of the pleasant moments is the opportunity to earn extra money with the help of tax incentives by opening an individual investment account.

Conclusion

Interest on savings certificates of Sberbank in 2018 continues to accrue as usual on all securities issued before July. Today, bearer securities have ceased to exist due to changes in the legal framework. They are not accepted for storage, but the bank fulfills its obligations to repay in full. Certificates purchased in the first half of 2018, 2017 and earlier are paid according to the general rules. The percentage depends on the purchased value and the duration of use.

There are many different tools for retirees to preserve labor savings. In 2017, most often these instruments are deposits and deposits.

Today, many citizens, and especially retirees, are concerned about how to preserve their savings and get at least a small profit. Savings bank certificate is such an opportunity. A savings certificate should be understood as a security that guarantees the holder a return on the invested savings.

If there is a certificate, at the end of the validity period of the paper, the holder will be able to visit the branch of the financial institution and collect the paid amount of money together with the profit. This material will provide complete information about savings certificates of Sberbank of Russia, including conclusions about the profitability of buying such securities.

In fact, a savings certificate from Sberbank should be understood as a special document that is issued to citizens who want to transfer their savings for temporary storage, but do not refuse to open a deposit.

Externally, the form has the size A5 and special protection in the form of several stickers, watermarks. The certificate is equipped with a special protective stripe in a silvery shade, which excludes document forgery. A document is not an equivalent of monetary expression - it is a kind of warranty card that is used for the subsequent return of the investment. An additional advantage is the accrual of an interest rate on the investment amount, which can reach 8.8% per annum. It often happens that bank clients confuse a savings certificate with a deposit. This opinion is erroneous, because, despite the large number of similar points, there are also many differences and there are very significant ones.

On a note! If the Central Bank is lost or damaged, the user will be able to present the rights to the savings certificate only at a court hearing.

How to get a savings certificate at Sberbank?

Where and how can you cash out

Users often ask questions about whether it is possible to cash out a Sberbank savings certificate for individuals in 2019 and what needs to be done. There is no problem here, because a savings certificate is needed precisely for this purpose, but it is important to take into account some of the nuances and conditions for receiving money:

1. You can exchange the certificate for money at any time, but the interest rate will be reduced if this happens before the end of the validity period of the form. The new rate will be only 0.01%.
2. To receive funds, you need to visit a bank where such services are provided, and present, in addition to the document itself, a passport.

In the section on the conditions and procedure for cashing the certificate, it is indicated that no binding to the place of residence and purchase of a security is carried out.

Attention! A savings certificate is not shared between divorced spouses, but can be recovered as property when the user's accounts are seized by the bailiffs.

Upon receipt of the bearer form, any person can use it, which is very dangerous in case of loss of a valuable document. The document is allowed to cash out only to the citizen to whom it was issued.

Is it possible to withdraw dividends ahead of schedule

People acquire savings certificates in order to preserve their savings and increase them. It is the high percentages and the absence of strict requirements that make this product very attractive. On the other hand, it is impossible to withdraw money early from the certificate without losses. The procedure of cashing the certificate itself is not prohibited, but the interest will be recalculated to 0.01%, instead of 8.8%.
