What is the main purpose of a blocked account in UK/Germany?
06 Aug 2026 · Answered by Geetha Muthu · 1 min read
The main purpose of a blocked account is to prove you have enough funds to cover your living expenses while studying abroad. It locks a specific amount of money so you can’t spend it all at once, showing visa authorities you have guaranteed financial support throughout your stay.
Countries like Germany require blocked accounts, but the UK does not use this system for student visa fund proof.
