dekont

Dekont is a document or printout that confirms that a payment has been made. It is used in Turkey and in regions where Turkish banking terminology is common. A dekont can be issued for cash deposits and withdrawals, bank transfers, card payments, and merchant settlements. It serves as evidence of payment and is commonly used for accounting, expense reimbursements, tax deductions, and reconciliation.

A dekont typically contains: the date and time of the transaction, the amount, currency, payer and recipient names, involved accounts (often masked), the payment method, a reference or transaction number, the issuing bank or merchant name, the location or branch, and sometimes a signature or barcode. In online or mobile banking, the dekont may be issued as a downloadable PDF or digital confirmation with a transaction ID, and may be accessible as a screen view or screenshot.

Differences from other documents: a dekont is not an invoice or a request for payment; rather, it proves that payment was made. It is not the same as a bank statement, though it is part of banking records. It may be used as supporting documentation for invoices, audits, or tax purposes.

Obtaining: a dekont is available at the point of sale or merchant, at a bank teller, or via online/mobile banking as a transfer receipt, payment confirmation, or deposit slip.
