Explanation:
receipt; acknowledgment of receipt


Empfangsbestätigung (1)=Empfangsbescheinigung) receipt; acknowledgment of receipt (as of documents or money transfers received); (2) receipt for goods shipped [and received].
(Schäfer, Wirtschaftswörterbuch, ISBN 3 8006 18532

You’ve (perhaps appropriately) provided no background regarding what’been sent and received (perhaps an electronic funds transfer [EFT]?) or in what circumstances. This leaves some possible doubt as to the precise type of [acknowledgment of] receipt you may need, its format, or the language in which it is needed. Your ‘personal banker’ or more likely the international division of your bank, or, in the case of wired money transfer, the direct line to the wire room of your bank, may provide helpful details if any are needed.

Merry Christmas, Tom
