银行资信证明文件的说明
（设立外资企业程序中）
　　在设立外商投资企业的过程中，为了对境外投资方的资金状况持有基本的保障，在向外经贸委提交的审批文件中有一项是银行资信证明。资信证明是指由银行或其他金融机构出具的足以证明他人资产、信用状况的各种文件、凭证等。此类证明文件不论以何种名义、形式出具，核心是证明他人拥有某项资产、债权或具有何种程度经济实力等等。银行接受客户申请，在银行记录资料的范围内，通过对客户的资金运动记录及相关信息的收集整理，以对外出具资信证明函件的形式，证明客户信誉状况的一种咨询见证。
　　通常银行给其公司客户出具的银行资信证明包括银行的开户时间、资本概况、财务往来信誉、账户资金等项，例：

　　在实际操作中，往往境外投资方的开户银行有各自的银行资信证明文件格式，不同银行的银行资信证明文件条款对于银行可以作出肯定性承诺的范围限制是不同的，越是大型的银行，对于其在银行资信证明文件中作出的肯定性承诺越是谨慎。
　　如美国国家银行，仅能在其给客户开具的银行资信证明文件中对自开具银行资信证明文件之日起三个月前的客户账户基本信息进行事实性描述，包括开户日期、账户性质、账户余额、账户末四位帐号。这样的大型银行不仅不会在银行资信证明文件中对公司客户的账户信誉状况做诸如“良好”之类的肯定性承诺，且对于银行自己对于客户账户信息的内容也会进行其他免则声明，如“本银行对发生在本资信证明文件签发后发生的客户账户信息变动不承担责任”等。
