The Republic of Belarus, despite the fact that it is a union state with Russia, operates according to its own banking legislation. In order to withdraw money from your Sberbank card in Belarus, you need to know a number of conditions for issuing cash and the rules of operation of payment systems.
The necessary conditions
The national currency in the Republic of Belarus is the Belarusian ruble. It is the only official payment method in the country. It will not work to pay in stores, at gas stations or in hotels with Russian cash.
For settlements, it is relevant to use plastic cards of the international payment systems VISA and MasterCard, conversion to local currency occurs automatically.
Important! Sberbank of Russia cards issued under the national payment program MIR, and Maestro social, do not work on the territory of Belarus.
UnionPay and American Express cards are serviced by individual Belarusian banks, so the infrastructure for their use is poorly developed, but if you wish, you can cash out or pay using UnionPay and American Express plastic.
Ways to withdraw money from a Sberbank card in Belarus
The number of terminals for non-cash payments in retail outlets in Belarus is constantly growing, but not every store has the opportunity to pay for goods using plastic. Therefore, during a visit to the territory of a neighboring state, it is better to have part of the funds in cash.
ATMs in the country issue mainly local currency, less often US dollars and euros. It will not work to receive Russian rubles in self-service devices. In fact, Russian money is not needed in Belarus.
Receive from a Sberbank card cash possible at ATMs and offices of credit institutions.
The menu in self-service devices is designed in Russian and does not differ from Russian terminals. The possibilities of ATMs in Belarus when working with cards of Russian banks are limited to withdrawing cash, requesting a balance and transferring money to the phone number of one of the local operators. If the terminal accepts cash, then plastic can be replenished, for depositing funds to the card are available Belorussian rubles... You cannot put Russian rubles into your account through a Belarusian ATM.
At the bank's office, cash withdrawal operations are carried out using a Russian passport. If you lose your card, you can get money within the framework of the service "Emergency cash withdrawal in case of loss of a card abroad" offered by Sberbank of Russia.
Will it be possible to withdraw funds without commission
ATMs of Belarusian banks do not charge commission for issuing cash from "other people's" cards, but this does not mean that a client from Russia will be able to withdraw money for free. In the tariffs of Russian banks for servicing card products, there are conditions for withdrawing cash from ATMs of third-party banks and cash desks of credit institutions. The commission ranges from 1 to 3% with a minimum threshold.
If in the conditions of servicing with a bank card there is no commission for issuing funds at any ATMs in the world, then you can receive money in the Republic of Belarus free of charge in every self-service device.
Holders of card products of Sberbank of Russia will have to withdraw money from ATMs of Belarusian banks from additional costs... According to the conditions for issuing debit cards of Sberbank, the commission for issuing cash at ATMs of other credit institutions is subject to a commission of 1% of the amount, at least 100 rubles (3 US dollars or euros) for products VISA Classic and MasterCard Standard.
For instant issuance cards Visa Classic Momentum and MasterCard Momentum, the fee for withdrawing funds in devices of other credit organizations is 1%, at least 150 rubles ($ 5 or euros).
For issuing funds through ATMs owned by subsidiaries structural units Sberbank, a credit institution does not take a commission.
In Belarus, you can withdraw money from a Sberbank of Russia card without additional costs only at BPS-Sberbank, which is a subsidiary financial structure the largest Russian bank.
Free withdrawal of money applies to classic, gold and platinum card products; for instant withdrawal cards, there is a fee for withdrawing cash from ATMs of subsidiaries.
In the offices of Belarusian credit organizations, the commission for issuing cash from the card will be charged and Russian bank, and a local finance company. It makes sense for Sberbank customers to contact BPS-Sberbank, because for some types of cards there is no commission for issuing money at the cash desk of a subsidiary unit, for other card products it will be below average.
Features of withdrawing funds from BPS-Sberbank ATMs
The Republic has a subsidiary financial company of Sberbank - BPS-Sberbank. Despite the fact that the founder of BPS-Sberbank is a Russian credit institution, the Belarusian bank is foreign for the clients of Sberbank of Russia. At the same time, holders of bank cards of the parent company can cash out money from plastic without additional fees, and ordinary customers can receive or transfer cash through the Kolibri system.
Self-service devices of BPS-Sberbank accept plastic of VISA, MasterCard, American Express payment systems. Funds can be withdrawn in Belarusian, American and European currencies.
Holders of Sberbank bank cards can receive money without paying a commission: VISA Classic, VISA Gold, MasterCard Standard, MasterCard Gold... For holders of VISA Momentum and MasterCard Momentum cards at BPS-Sberbank ATMs, a commission of 0.75% of the amount is provided.
Holders of cards issued by subsidiary banks of Sberbank of Russia in Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Croatia, Hungary, Slovakia, the Czech Republic and other countries can use the free receipt of money through an ATM.
The menu of BPS-Sberbank self-service devices is similar to the Russian analogous systems of the head credit institution... At the first call, you must select the interface language, then the procedure is the same as for Russian terminals.
Withdrawing Russian rubles at the cash desk of BPS-Sberbank
Resort to receiving cash through the cashier financial company follows when you need to exchange a large amount of money. The principle of “preliminary application for money” is applied in Belarusian banks, therefore, before visiting an institution, it is better to inform bank employees about your intentions to receive a large amount of cash.
Belarusian BPS-Sberbank has more than 40 offices throughout the country, which is quite a lot for Belarus. Plastic of Sberbank of Russia is accepted by all credit organizations in the country (except for MIR cards), but in order to save on commissions, it is better to look for a branch of BPS-Sberbank.
When servicing in the office of a credit company, the commission of the organization issuing the money is added to the commission that the bank that issued the card takes. Belarusian banks additionally charge from 1 to 3% of the amount when issuing funds from foreign plastic cards through the cashier.
BPS-Sberbank is loyal to the owners of banking products of Sberbank of Russia. If necessary, get money from Russian card a Belarusian bank will count 1% of the amount, plus a commission from the Russian side, which depends on the type of card:
- Free for banking products VISA Classic, Gold, Platinum, MasterCard Standart, Gold, Platinum.
- 0.75% of the amount for instant issuance cards VISA Momentum, MasterCard Momentum.
When contacting other credit organizations when issuing cash through the cashier's office, Sberbank will take from the owner of the plastic 1% of the amount, at least 150 rubles, or 5 dollars, or 5 euros, plus the commission of the bank issuing the funds.
Limits and restrictions
There are no additional restrictions on the validity of the card and cash withdrawals on the Belarusian territory. All limits on transactions are set by the bank that issued the card. In Sberbank, restrictions depend on the status of the card.
For classic banking products, there is a limit on withdrawing money per day in the amount of 150,000 Russian rubles or the equivalent in foreign currency. You can receive no more than 1,500,000 RUR per month, or 50,000 USD, or 37,500 EUR.
There are no restrictions on carrying out payment operations with a bank card. Bank employees can call the owner of the plastic and ask for additional confirmation of the purchase made abroad.
Where to see the conversion rate when withdrawing funds
The exchange of the currency in which the card is open for Belarusian rubles, dollars or euros takes place at the rate that is specially set by the Sberbank of Russia for card transactions. You can find out the current data on the website of the credit institution, in mobile application Sberbank Online or by calling customer support.
When counting exchange rate it is necessary to take into account the fact that the rate indicated to the clients will not be applied when processing the transaction, because the real conversion takes place at the time the money is debited from the account, and not from the card, 3-5 working days after the transaction. Accordingly, the exchange rate is used, which will be at the time the money is debited from the account.
Payment cards Visa systems take an additional 0.5 to 2% for currency exchange, the rate depends on the status of the card. In this case, the currency is changed twice, for example, so that from a card opened in Russian rubles, withdraw Belarusian rubles, the payment system will first convert Russian money into dollars, then dollars into Belarusian rubles. For all actions, a commission will be charged, which will affect the conversion rate.
To travel around the Republic of Belarus, the most effective solution would be to open a MasterCard product with a US dollar account in Sberbank and use BPS-Sberbank ATMs and terminals in the country.
In Belarus (locals say "Belarus"), the Belarusian ruble is in circulation. In mid-February 2017, at the rate of the National Bank of the republic, 100 Russian rubles were worth a little less than 3.5 Belarusian rubles. The US dollar against the local currency at the same time was 1.97.
People call Belarusian money "bunnies". In the 1990s, representatives of the local fauna were depicted on the first banknotes of independent Belarus, and there was a hare on the ruble bill. Now have Belarusian money not the first year a new design, but the colloquial name has remained.
What to go with from Russia
It is best to travel from Russia to Belarus with Russian rubles, and in the country of arrival change to the local currency. This is advised by tourist sites and people who have already visited the republic. The main reasons for this are as follows:
- In Belarus, there are many exchange offices and bank branches where currency is exchanged. And this applies not only to Minsk. Exchange offices can be found even in small towns.
- In places where there are a lot of tourists, exchangers are found almost at every step. So, in the building of the Minsk railway station, there are several of them at the airport.
- The exchange rate in Belarusian exchange offices is very favorable for the client.
- In Belarusian exchangers, there will be no problems with not knowing the language. Everyone in the republic speaks Russian.
- It is rather problematic to buy Belarusian rubles in Russia; not every bank sells them, even in Moscow. This currency can be found in exchange offices, at the Belorussky railway station in particular. But in the Russian outback, the "bunny" is exotic.
In Belarus, a free exchange of American dollars or euros is also carried out. But, of course, buying these currencies specifically for the subsequent acquisition of "bunnies" is not worth it - it is both unprofitable and unnecessary.
Cashless option
In addition to cash, it is worth taking with you to Belarus plastic card... If you have a card from one of the international payment systems, you will be able to pay freely in many shops and restaurants. V large cities cards are accepted almost everywhere.
It does not matter in what currency your card is issued: in Russian rubles, dollars or euros. You can just go with your "salary". You will make a purchase in Belarusian rubles, and your bank will write off the amount in the currency of your account. Moreover, the conversion will take place at a preferential rate.
Also, using Visa cards or MasterCard, you can exchange your "card" money for Belarusian rubles at local ATMs or cash points. Again, according to favorable rate... But note: there is usually a commission for withdrawing money from a non-native ATM. Therefore, it makes sense to cash out an impressive amount at once, and not a couple of hundred rubles.
Please note: if the card is a credit card, then the commission for withdrawing cash will be required. And usually rather big. Therefore, use the credit card only for payments in trading network, and go to the ATM with a debit card.
Knowledgeable tourists recommend that when traveling to Belarus, divide the money that you plan to take with you. Put the main amount on a plastic debit card to conveniently pay and withdraw money from it later. And for small expenses, immediately upon arrival in the republic, purchase Belarusian rubles.
And it is better not to buy too many "bunnies". If you do not have time to spend them during the trip, you will have to go to the exchanger with them again before leaving. And in Russia it will be much more difficult to sell Belarusian money.
Just in case
In conclusion - some advice from seasoned travelers. Sometimes it is better if you already have some cash in your pocket when you arrive in the country local currency... Just in case. Even if you are going to “brotherly” Belarus.
There will be no problem if you arrive by train or plane. At major train stations and airports, you will be able to exchange Russian money for Belarusian money, usually even at night.
But it is completely different if you are traveling by your own car. And now, when the border of two countries is crossed, some difficulty arises. For example, you run out of drinking water, gasoline is running out or your car gets stuck. And you are in countryside where cards are not accepted and there are no exchangers.
You won't be able to pay in Russian rubles anywhere. Dollars or euros - too. Well, if only you can negotiate with someone privately. Therefore, if you manage to buy some "bunnies" before your trip to Belarus - buy it.
