They no longer provide the desired returns and cannot protect savings from inflation. That is why Russians are actively studying new investment instruments.

For example, a Sberbank savings certificate has become a relevant alternative for many depositors. What kind of product is this? What should an investor remember? What kind does he carry? 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 deposited a certain amount into the bank and the right to receive it through the specified term along with interest. You can give this document to someone, sell it or leave it as an inheritance.

They are issued in two types: registered and bearer. The first type of securities in the event of bankruptcy of a financial institution is subject to compensation. Certificates issued to bearer are not . If the issuer is liquidated, investors will not get their money back.

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

Main characteristics of a savings certificate from Sberbank

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

But it’s completely in vain. Owners of securities can receive 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 placement amount is 10 thousand rubles;
the investor is given the right to choose: how many securities to buy and for what period, but within the limits of the banking program;
it is issued for a specific period, therefore it is considered urgent;
a fixed percentage has been established, which is calculated when the document is issued;
the owner of a security can present it for payment at any time, but his income is determined at a rate of 0.01% per annum for the number of days of storage;
the amount of accrued interest is paid to the investor along with the redemption of the security;
all operations can only be performed by the client personally and in Sberbank branches that are vested with the appropriate powers.

The certificate from Sberbank looks like this:

Profitability of Sberbank certificates

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

That is why investors pay special attention to certificates, the conditions of which are becoming more and more favorable, especially for large deposits.

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

		Amount of deposit on the certificate in rubles / interest on certificates (% per annum)	Amount of deposit on the certificate in rubles / interest on certificates (% per annum)	Amount of deposit on the certificate in rubles / interest on certificates (% per annum)	Amount of deposit on the certificate in rubles / interest on certificates (% per annum)
Ranges/Number of days	10 000 - 50 000	50 000 - 1 000 000	1 000 000 - 8 000 000	8 000 000 - 100 000 000	over 100,000,000
91-180	0,01	8,1	8,8	9,4	10,0
181-365	0,01	8,4	9,1	9,7	10,3
366-730	0,01	8,7	9,4	10,0	10,6
731-1094	0,01	9,1	9,8	10,4	11,0
1095	0,01	9,6	10,3	10,9	11,5

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

A comparative description of the profitability of savings certificates and deposits at Sberbank is presented below.

In order to calculate the income from your investments, you can use a special calculator, which is posted 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:

The interest rate on the certificate is 8.9% per annum, and the amount of interest is 8948.77 rubles;
The “Save” deposit opens at 7.98% per annum. Profit received - 8023.05 rubles;
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 shown in the following chart.

Thus, the level of profitability of savings certificates exceeds the results of deposits. But the difference is not that huge. Therefore, many Russians will continue to give preference to the usual deposits. For example, most banks offer increased interest rates for pensioners.

Important: no certificates preferential terms not provided.

Savings certificates: advantages and disadvantages

The main advantages of this product include:

High income. The client initially knows the size of his income. For securities such as shares (for example, or) everything is different. No one knows with what outcome the investment fund will end its activities.
The client has the opportunity to store securities outside the bank. There is no need to withdraw your money within a specified time frame. You can submit a certificate for payment at any time convenient for you, after the end of the contract.
Issued to the bearer. If you cannot go to the bank to receive money, then delegate this task to a person you trust. To do this, you do not need to issue any powers of attorney or other documents. Whoever provides it to the bank will be paid cash.
This paper has the same degree of protection as banknotes. It cannot be counterfeited, so it is considered an excellent tool for saving money.
The certificate is a good gift for your loved ones. This does not require any additional agreements or contracts.

Among the “cons” of this product we can note:

High risks when stored at home. If robbers break into your apartment and take possession of a security, they will be able to withdraw your money from the bank without any problems. Wherein financial institution will be obliged to comply with their demands.
Not subject to compensation under the deposit insurance system. If or is liquidated, then you can forget about your savings.
Securities servicing operations cannot be performed in all Sberbank branches.
Your rights to lost documents can only be restored through the courts. And while you prove your rights, attackers can use your certificate.

Which is better: deposit or certificate?

The answer to this question interests many investors. 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 into your account for a period of 36 months, then it is better to buy a certificate. The amount of profit received will be much greater.

If your savings are larger, then it is better to open a deposit. Compulsory insurance Deposits in the amount of up to 1.4 million rubles are subject to. In the event of a bank bankruptcy, you are guaranteed to receive your money.

You should also give preference to a certificate if you are ready to place funds for a short period.

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

How to obtain a Sberbank Savings Certificate for individuals

Sberbank will no longer issue new bearer savings certificates in 2019. These are the requirements of the changed Russian legislation.

You can only receive a certificate as an inheritance from relatives, as a gift or in another legal way.

But it’s very possible to return a previously received security back to Sberbank and get money. Nothing has changed here.

Taxation of income from a Savings Certificate

From a tax point of view, a Sberbank savings certificate is completely identical to deposits. Taking into account that current interest rates do not exceed the refinancing rate by more than 5 percentage points, the income received by the client is not taxed.

There are many different tools available for retirees to maintain their work savings. In 2017, most often these instruments are deposits. But more and more people are offering such a way to save money as a savings certificate under favorable interest rates. Moreover, Sberbank is most active in promoting this instrument.

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:

nominal;
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 funds due under 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.

Amount, rub.	3 - 6 months	6 months - 1 year	From 1 year to 2 years	From 2 to 3 years	Over 3 years
1-50 thousand	0.0001	0.0001	0.0001	0.0001	0.0001
50 thousand-1 million	0.0695	0.0735	0.0765	0.079	0.0795
1-8 million	0.0775	0.0815	0.0845	0.087	0.0875
8-100 million	0.084	0.088	0.091	0.0935	0.094
>100 million	0.09	0.094	0.097	0.0995	0.1

Indeed, if you compare these rates with the interest given by Sberbank on its own high contribution "Save", it turns out that, for example, for fairly common deposit amounts from 100,000 rubles to 2 million rubles, this deposit 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 for an investment period of 3 years.

For investments over 2 million rubles, interest on the deposit does not increase, but interest on a savings certificate increases and reaches 10% per annum for 100 million rubles.

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 increased percentage profit on the certificate is due to the fact that the funds invested in it are not subject to deposit insurance. Therefore, when a bank’s license is revoked, no insurance payment is due.

Considering that the probability of revocation of the license of the base bank of the Russian Federation, which is Sberbank, is almost zero, we can assume that the insurance DIA systems in this case does not play a special role.

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

Advantages

The main advantages of Sberbank savings certificates are:

High interest rates.
Security mobility.
No personal income tax.

The portability 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, if they have a savings certificate, there is no need to draw up any will. It is enough to pass it on to the heirs.

In addition, such a certificate can be given as a gift, 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 opportunity additional contributions, partial withdrawal of money without loss of interest, prolongation.

You can restore your rights to a stolen or lost certificate only through court. In this case, there is a certain procedure that lasts quite a long time. At the same time, it is quite difficult for the secondary owner to prove his rights to the certificate.

The certificate is a simple paper that has security. However, this paper may 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 assuming the rights of inheritance.

If you need to make a partial withdrawal, you will have to cash out the certificate ahead of schedule. In this case, you can only get 0.01%. The absence of automatic extension requires re-registration, otherwise no interest will accrue on the money.

conclusions

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

The banking organization offers its clients to increase their capital by investing it in a Sberbank savings certificate. This profitable investment own funds and a good gift for loved ones, because high rates remain on this banking product.

Advantages and main features of certificates

A security called a savings certificate is issued by a banking institution and is registered in the name of the depositor. The bearer is not specified, so you will receive the money upon completion deadline anyone can. The certificate holder receives not only the deposit amount, but also interest, according to the terms of the agreement. That's why certificates are an excellent gift.
The high return on securities can be explained simply - funds invested in them are not insured.
Savings certificates differ from deposits in that:

a specific amount is deposited once, without any additional investments subsequently;
the validity period of the certificate is set and it cannot be shortened or extended;
the validity period is set individually and can range from three months to 3 years;
you cannot receive the entire amount or a certain part ahead of schedule;
The rate on securities is a minimum of 0.01% and a maximum of 6.10%.

Parameters for calculating income from a certificate

The interest received at the end of the action can be calculated independently. The rate is calculated depending on the period for which the security is valid and the amount contributed by the investor. To calculate percentages, you need parameters and credit calculator, which is on the Sberbank website.

To use it, you must specify:

nominal value;
date of registration;
validity period (in days);
deadline for presentation.

The loan calculator will display the amount available for cash withdrawal at the end of the validity period.

The main criterion for the profitability of certificates

How more amount investment, the more profitable the certificate is, accordingly. Minimum investments (from 10 to 50 thousand rubles) will bring a profit of 0.01%. Even if the certificate is purchased for 3 years, the interest will be insignificant.

Interest rates on Sberbank Savings Certificate in 2019

It is recommended to invest 50 thousand rubles or more in savings certificates, setting maximum validity periods. For example, if the deposit amount is 50,000 - 1,000,000 rubles, the interest will be as follows:

up to six months: 4,35 %;
up to one year: 4,50 %;
from one to two years: 4,50 %:
from two to three years: 4,50 %;
three years: 4,50 %.

There is an obvious increase in the rate depending on the validity period. If the deposit amount is from 1 to 100 million rubles, the interest will be as follows:

from 1 to 8 million rubles: 4,95 - 5,15 %;
from 8 to 100 million rubles: 5,50 - 5,70 %;
more than 100 million rubles: 5,90 - 6,10 %.

One more characteristic feature securities - until the validity period has expired, you cannot withdraw the deposit without loss. Money will be returned before this time, but with minimum interest. Therefore, it is important to maintain the entire period, right down to the day.

Upon presentation of the certificate, payment will be made at current rates. Changes are infrequent and, as a rule, rates increase rather than decrease.

To obtain a certificate, you need to go to a bank branch and write an application. But first you should clarify which offices are engaged in registration savings deposits. The application indicates the deposit amount, validity period and passport details.

The certificate can be picked up or left for safekeeping at the bank for free. Money will not be issued without presenting a certificate, but if it is lost, it can be restored.
