In this article you will find the answer to a very pressing question from many clients: how to change your phone number in Sberbank online banking. After all, each of us at least once had to change our phone number or even our telecom operator.
You must change the phone number linked to your bank card through the service " Mobile bank».
Since the operation of the Sberbank Online services and the SMS service are directly interconnected.
The first stage - disabling the old number is very important only when you no longer use it or abandoned it yourself. According to the contract for the provision of communication services, the operator has the right to sell the telephone number to another person if you do not use it for more than 3 months. If the number is valid and you also use it, then there is no need to disable it.
To change your number, you should visit the nearest Sberbank office and fill out a special application form to disable the Mobile Bank service. Be sure to keep your passport with you. Within 24 hours, the bank will fulfill your request and notify you about this in the form of an SMS notification.
The second stage is connecting a new phone number. As soon as you are disconnected from the service, you can reactivate it by linking any other number mobile phone. This can be done in two ways:
The second option is the most convenient, since you can perform this operation at any time of the day, regardless of the bank’s opening hours, and in a place convenient for you, where there is an electronic device.
Using the card, enter the main menu of the electronic device. Make sure that the special card input device is not equipped with suspicious devices.
In the main menu, select the section related to connecting to the service.
Go to the “Connect mobile bank” item.
Next, select the service tariff. The “Full” package is provided on a paid basis (payment is charged once a month, the amount depends on the type of card) and includes notification of the client about each transaction made from the card.
Registration for the Economy package is free, but its functions are limited.
To do this you will need your mobile phone and a plastic card. Go to the Sberbank portal and go to the form to enter your personal profile. Click on the “Registration” line and follow all the steps step by step.
Take the card and enter the series of numbers (16 to 18) located on front side plastic into an empty line.
Wait for an SMS message from the bank. A message with a one-time password will be sent to your phone to consent to registration.
Create a unique username and password and set them as a login Personal Area. The login may contain Latin letters and numbers.
The password must be entered twice in the same order. To complete, click the “Continue” button.

In the Sberbank Online system, you can go to the settings located on the right side home page and in the “Mobile Bank” section, look at the current phone number.
And in the “Alerts” section you can change the method of delivery of notifications about completed operations in the system.
Banking services are becoming increasingly popular due to their convenience and speed. When using them, you must provide your cell phone number. But there are often situations when access to the number is lost (failure of the phone’s SIM card, change of operator cellular communication etc.). In this case, it is possible to change the phone number attached to the Sberbank card in several ways.
