<p>Hello,
the Savings part of the document requires a bank official's signature to certify the availability of sources. However savings in my country are rarely saved in banks. I though I could fill the Parents section instead and leave the savings part empty, but the parents part says to indicate funds <em>other than savings</em>. So what should I do?
Any piece of advice will be appreciated. Thanks!</p>
<p>sorry, but where do you keep your savings if not in a bank?? however, i am afraid, i can´t really help you, i am just being curious ^^</p>
<p>Banks here are not reliable enough for most people. So they prefer to keep it in cash.</p>
<p>does that mean you´ve got all your savings at home?? cash?? aren´t you afraid to get robbed or sth??</p>
<p>The majority of people here are more afraid to lose their money in banks than to get robbed. Besides we do not have a lot of savings.</p>
<p>You remind me of a friend of mine from Central Africa who applied. He had most of his savings tied up in lifestock (like goats and cows) because both banks and monetary system itself were far too insecure. I have no idea how he did it. You best just ask someone from support to help you. </p>
<p>I have a rather different problem: My bank is both foreign and doesn’t have branches except for their headquarters (which also doesn’t do customer service). It’s an internet bank…</p>
<p>Ok, I asked the university requiring the document and they said I can put the savings in the Parents section.</p>
