A resident of the capital who is starting to enjoy the right to benefits needs to figure out where to replenish social card Muscovite for further payment for services and goods with discounts and / or travel to public transport. In the article - about all the ways.
How to top up a social card
The Muscovite card is issued by VTB Bank of Moscow and combines the properties of two cards: social and ordinary banking.
It can be used:
- to exercise the right to preferential travel by public transport in the capital and the Moscow Region;
- to pay for services and goods using social certificate points;
- to pay for goods and services with discounts, that is, as discount card. The catalog of companies that provide discounts is available in social security departments, as well as on the Internet at www.soccard.ru/articles/263;
- as a compulsory medical insurance policy;
- as a carrier for an electronic signature;
- as a means of non-cash payments in any retail outlets, including online stores and web services.
Replenishment of the card account to pay for purchases and make other payments is carried out in the same ways as for a regular plastic card issued by VTB Bank of Moscow.
Cash replenishment
The following options are available to Moscow beneficiaries on how to deposit money on a social card in cash:
- at a bank branch (no commission);
- through an ATM of VTB Bank of Moscow with the function of accepting banknotes (no commission);
- through an ATM with the function of accepting cash from another bank, if the functionality of the device allows replenishment of card accounts of third-party organizations (a commission is charged - for example, by Alfa-Bank 1% of the amount, but not less than 99 rubles);
- through the point of the CONTACT money transfer system (commission 1.5% + 40 rubles).
Please note: not only the beneficiary himself, but also any other capable citizen of the Russian Federation (relative, friend, neighbor, etc.) can replenish the balance of the card at the bank office. The social card account is in rubles, so it does not require replenishment notarized power of attorney- you need to present your passport to the specialist and name the plastic number. The presence of the card in hand is not required - the beneficiary does not need to transfer it to the wrong hands, violating security rules.
If the cardholder himself makes the replenishment, it is recommended to use the VTB Bank of Moscow ATM that accepts banknotes. The operation is carried out without difficulty - you need to insert the plastic into the device and enter the pin code, then click the "Recharge" button and follow the prompts on the screen.
If you use an ATM installed in the branch during working hours, then in case of difficulties, you can call a bank employee for help.
Replenishment by transfer by card number online
You can replenish a social card by transferring funds from another bank card yourself online in four ways:
- across VTB internet bank Bank of Moscow or mobile app for Android or iOS;
- through an Internet bank or a mobile application of a financial organization that issued plastic, from whose account money is transferred;
- through the site bm.ru;
- through another site offering a Card2Card transfer service.
Important: any transactions with bank cards on the Internet require the activation of the 3D-Secure service. To connect it to a social card, you need to contact the issuer's call center or branch.
Transferring money online through the Internet Bank-Client system - with authorization on the website online.bm.ru - is the most profitable, since there is either no commission for performing the operation, or it is charged in the minimum amount.
Transferring funds from a VTB Bank of Moscow debit card is free of charge, besides, transferring money between your accounts in your personal account is very simple - you do not need to enter card numbers and other data. Whether a commission is withheld for a transfer from a card account in another financial institution depends only on it.
To complete a Card2Card transaction through the online.bm.ru website without authorization in your personal account, you need to go from home page to the section " For individuals” (“All services”), from there - by clicking on the link “Transfers from the card”.
On the page that opens, fill out the form by entering the details of the sender's plastic, the amount of the transaction and the recipient's plastic number, and click "Transfer money now", then confirm the transaction with a one-time SMS password. Commission withheld by the system - 1.6%, minimum 70 rubles.
If the holder of a social card has not passed the procedure for connecting to the "Internet Bank-Client", this can be done at the branch for free. There is also no subscription fee for using the system.
Replenishment by transfer from a bank or post office
Branches of the Russian Post or any banking organization operating in the capital of the Russian Federation - numerous places where you can replenish the social card of a Muscovite money transfer according to the details of VTB Bank of Moscow.
The replenishment method is rather inconvenient, especially if you visit post office, where you need to fill out an application for a transfer yourself and languish in line. But familiar to many beneficiaries, especially the elderly.
Finding details for a cashless transfer of funds on bm.ru is not difficult.
Transfer from mobile phone account
You can also transfer money to a bank card account from the balance cell phone operator MegaFon, MTS, Beeline or Tele2. The easiest way to do this is online through the payment service of the operator itself.
However, this method of replenishment is clearly unprofitable for beneficiaries due to the high commission for the operation.
