Remember Soviet times. At that time, citizens, apart from a standard savings book, had absolutely no relationship with banks. And there were no banks as such either, there was a savings bank " state standard" Now we can hardly imagine our everyday life without loans, plastic cards, mobile and online services and other banking services. In this review we will tell you how to use a Sberbank card - largest bank Russian Federation, which is used or will be used by the majority of the Russian population. You may already know about some of it, but you will probably find in the article something new and useful about such a worthy banking product.

Advantages of a Sberbank card. Why should she be preferred?

A few words about the advantages of the Sberbank card. This is probably the most popular bank in our country, and many are familiar with its products (the same one) firsthand. The bank issues and actively offers a significant line of cards, both debit and .

Otherwise it's the same payment instrument, like any other Bank card. Logo of the international Visa system, Master Card(now our domestic one is actively gaining momentum - MIR) says that you can pay with your card in any store in the world and, by the way, without commission. The logo helps to determine which point-of-sale terminals or ATMs support this particular payment system (each of these devices has a set of such icons indicating that they work with a specific payment system).

In online stores you can also pay with it, only in some cases problems may arise - some budget cards, for example, or with a cumulative function, have a number consisting of 18 digits, and the form of payment can only be calculated for 16. This limitation is circumvented discovery, which is recommended for secure online payments.

Plastic card details

The Sberbank card is the “key” to your Sberbank card current account. The account number cannot be seen on the card itself, unlike a passbook. You can only request it from the bank. The card itself has many of its own details:

  • . It consists of 16 (18) numbers located on the front side of the plastic. This number may be useful for replenishing your account and paying for services remotely. It should not be confused with.
  • . You will not find it on either side of the bank card, but without this detail you will not be able to perform any transactions with your plastic card. When you received the card, you should have been given an envelope, which bank employees call a pin envelope. It is precisely in it that the secret code that needs to be remembered is located, like “Our Father”. The combination of numbers in such a code is selected randomly and may not always be easy to remember. Then you can go to the ATM for a more “clingy” one. Only it should not contain a combination of numbers associated with your personal data (for example, with the date of birth of you and your relatives), in order to avoid fraudulent hacks. Read what to do if you forgot your PIN code. Attention! Entering the PIN code incorrectly three times leads to the card being blocked (when paying with it in a store) or to being “eaten” by the ATM. .
  • Authentication code (secret code) CVV2/CVC2, consisting of 3 digits, which can be found on the back of the card. This detail is analogous to your handwritten signature and PIN code. It is used to carry out transactions without the physical presence of a means of payment, i.e. remotely - for payments on the Internet. Details about him. A little advice - remember this code (write it down somewhere) and cover it with opaque electrical tape or tape. This way, an “armed” person will not be able to consider it (not only people but also micro-cameras installed by scammers in public places can spy on you) and a “naked” look and the likelihood of fraud will greatly decrease.
  • Your first and last name (if the card is personalized), as well as its expiration date. All this information is payment details, and therefore they need to be kept away from prying eyes.

On the back of the payment instrument there is a special place for a handwritten signature. We recommend that you sign, as some sellers may not accept the card without your autograph.

How to find out full list bank details card account (for example, to transfer money to it using classic Bank transaction to a card account), see.

Card activation

Before you start using your new plastic, you will need to activate it. The easiest way is to request your balance from the nearest ATM, i.e. perform the simplest operation.

Attention! Try to use Sberbank self-service devices! ATMs and terminals of other institutions may charge a commission of 3% even for a balance request!

So, you've found an ATM. You also need to be able to insert a card, otherwise the smart machine simply won’t accept it. There is a black magnetic stripe on the back of the card. So, this strip should be located on the right and below when you start inserting the tool into the special window. Usually the ATM has mini-instructions on how to insert the card into the card slot.

When the ATM “swallows” the card, a prompt to enter a PIN code will appear on the monitor. Enter the same 4 digits that were printed in the PIN envelope. Try not to show people standing next to you what combination of numbers you are dialing. Do not hesitate to cover the keyboard with your hand - the safety of your money on the card depends on your caution and attentiveness.

And then everything is very simple. First, click “request balance” (the command text in the menu may differ slightly), and then select the option of how we want to see this balance – on the screen or in printed form.

After receiving the information, your card will be activated. To exit, you need to click “complete service” or the button to go to the main menu if you need to perform any operation.

By the way, the credit card is activated automatically the next day after it is received. See activation for more details.

How to use a Sberbank card at an ATM (terminal)

The procedure is quite simple. By inserting the card into the ATM and entering the correct PIN code, you will be taken to the same main menu as during activation. Only now you need to select the “receive cash” option. The device will offer several amount options to choose from. As a rule, these are “round” values ​​(1000 rubles, 5000 rubles, etc.). If a different amount is needed, a separate field is provided for entering it.

You can choose which bills the requested amount will be given to you - large bills or with change. But with a greater degree of probability, they will count your money in thousand rubles, despite the fact that you chose “large” bills. In addition, you will need to decide on the issue of printing the check. If you don't need it and are going to throw it away anyway, then it's better not to print it at all.

After all the manipulations, the device will first return the card to you. Take it without delay first, otherwise the ATM will “eat” it, that is, place it in a special inner pocket, from which only bank employees can take it out. And there is no guarantee that they will do it on the day of your request. What to do if the ATM swallows the card, see.

Next, you will receive money, which may also be delayed by the device after a certain time interval, so do not delay it. And the last thing is a receipt for the completed transaction. It will appear if you expressed such a desire in the previous steps. Many people simply throw it away or do not withdraw it from the ATM, which is extremely incorrect and unsafe.

We only considered cash withdrawals as part of the question of how to use a Sberbank card at an ATM or terminal. But this is only one of the wide range of operations available that you can perform with your card in Sberbank self-service devices. And it's no more difficult than withdrawing cash. Below is a list of these additional operations:

  • Card replenishment. If the terminal can accept money, then it can be used to replenish a card account. How to do this step by step and also in other ways - see ours.
  • Transfer to another card by non-cash money. Money can be transferred to any Sberbank card using its number.
  • Find out the balance. The simplest, but also necessary operation, which. By the way, if you save the receipt, the balance will be before your eyes.
  • Payment for various services: phone top-up, payment for housing and communal services, taxes and many payments. To do this, go to the “Payments and Transfers” menu item and follow the menu prompts. The only difficulty here is that in order to make such a payment, you need to enter numerous details of the recipient organization (a barcode reader built into almost any self-service terminal will help you do this). For inexperienced users this will be a bit difficult. And any mistake means transferring money to the wrong address, which means there is a possibility of a penalty being charged for late payment. In any case, the receipt received from the ATM must be kept along with the payment receipt. Still, it will be better if you learn how to make payments in the Sberbank Online Internet bank - we’ll talk about it below.
  • Connect to SMS banking service, mobile bank or online bank(get ID and password to log in).

Absolutely any action that you want to perform using your plastic card will not present any particular difficulties - the ATM itself will tell you where to press. Just read the labels on the buttons carefully. And if you suddenly clicked something wrong, the “cancel” button with a red cross, which is located on the keyboard, will come to your aid. It cancels any action and returns the card to the holder.

How to use a Sberbank card in a store. Payment for purchases and services

The vast majority of retail outlets and service points are now equipped with POS terminals that allow you to make cashless payments. In order to make a payment for a product or service, just tell the seller (or cashier) about it: he will insert it into the reader (or offer you to do it yourself) and ask you to enter the PIN code (do not forget to cover the buttons when entering it) – this completes the payment procedure. If your card only contains a magnetic stripe, you may be asked for the last 4 digits of your card number and asked to sign a receipt.

In some cases, your autograph may be asked for when paying with a card with a chip, although entering a PIN replaces a signature. When the author of the article asked where such a requirement came from, the saleswoman replied that the purchase amount was more than a thousand and, according to the rules, the buyer must sign the receipt. Shrugging my shoulders, I left the painting and left - sometimes it’s better to do as asked than to enter into a conflict.

Be sure to compare the amount on the receipt with the purchase price. And generally don’t take your eyes off your card until it’s back in your hands.

Some Sberbank cards support, then for a purchase amount of less than 1000 rubles. and you don’t have to contact the terminal at all - just swipe the card over the reader without entering any codes. Very convenient and safe.

It is very important to control expenses (movement of funds) on the account after each operation, which becomes possible when you activate the “ “ service. It will allow you to remotely track all incoming and outgoing transactions - this will be real information from the bank, which you should trust, no matter what is printed on the check. SMS notification is activated as part of the SMS banking service “Mobile Bank” (how to connect it) and allows you to receive notification SMS after each transaction on the card account for little money (from 30 to 60 rubles per month depending on the type of card) .

We use a Sberbank card on the Internet

The card is also used to pay for purchases or services on the Internet. To make a payment, you will need to provide your bank card details, which the seller’s website will ask you to provide. We discussed in detail what and where to indicate in. We recommend that you carefully study this article and reinforce your knowledge. The problem is that you can fall for scammers on the Internet, and sometimes even experienced cardholders cannot avoid this. And there are a great many ways in which scammers fish out card details. The main thing is to be attentive, careful and follow safety rules.

Additionally, we note that the bank supports the 3-D Secure service, which you can read about. It makes the payment process more secure.

Useful services

As we said earlier, Sberbank has many remote services that allow you to control your account and perform various operations with it. In particular, Mobile Bank, which we have already talked about, allows you to do a lot of interesting things in addition to SMS notifications. For example, using simple SMS commands you can make a transfer to another card. It is also possible to promptly send it via short SMS in case of its theft or loss. This is a very important point, because if you feel that something is wrong with the card (for example, you receive an SMS about withdrawing funds, but you actually did not withdraw them), then you need to quickly block the card either by SMS command or by calling the bank .

This service does not have to be paid; with a free economical tariff (), you lose SMS notifications, but all other important functions remain. For example, in any case, you will have a service with which you can top up your phone account or make a transfer to a Sberbank card with one simple SMS command.

There is a more powerful tool for managing your accounts - this is (your personal account). It is not difficult to connect it (the mobile bank must be connected). You can do any operations in it: payments, transfers, replenishments, connections and much more.

Let’s not hide it – problems also happen to his clients, mainly due to the “army” of scammers who take advantage of the financial illiteracy of the clients of the largest bank in the Russian Federation. But forewarned is forearmed. There is enough material to study, in particular, on the “Finance for People” website there is a large selection of current articles on Sberbank topics, which is constantly updated.
