The Account Balance Confirmation Letter is a crucial document in the Dutch financial and banking system, typically requested during annual audits, financial due diligence, or specific financial reviews. It serves as an independent verification of an account holder's financial position, providing third-party confirmation of account balances and details as of a specific date. Under Dutch law, particularly the Financial Supervision Act (Wft) and Banking Code, these letters must meet specific requirements regarding content and format. The document is commonly used to satisfy statutory audit requirements, support financial statements, and provide evidence for regulatory compliance. It may include information about multiple accounts, various currencies, credit facilities, and any restrictions or special conditions attached to the accounts.
