Today, in many regions and cities, to increase convenience and control, they are implementing various projects to provide students (schoolchildren) with special social cards. Worth considering important issues— what do such cards provide and is it possible to use them in the Sberbank Online system.

What is a student card

In most cases, student cards are just beginning to be implemented; optimal options and models are being tested in practice. For this reason, unfortunately, there is no single federal system(system in the subjects and regions) of student cards, such opportunities are implemented locally and have their own characteristics by region and city. Social cards for students are most widespread in Moscow, St. Petersburg and other largest cities in Russia. As a rule, such cards are interconnected, “attached” to a bank.

By appearance The student’s social card looks identical to a standard bank plastic card (size, basic contact information, number, magnetic stripe). Upon receipt of a social card, the holder is registered, his data is entered into special databases of a specific financial (banking) authority (linked to the personal data of the bank client).

On this map can be credited sums of money. A system has been introduced for parents to control the spending of money from such cards, and the functionality of use is also limited (only important social expenses). The most widespread today are narrowly functional cards aimed at paying for a specific type of service (transport, lunch, etc.).

With a student's social card, the holder has the opportunity to:

1. Pay for lunches in the school canteen (other educational institution).
2. Use discounted travel to public transport, metro.
3. In addition, the card is often used as a pass (to school, library), and an electronic means of registration.

The idea of ​​introducing student cards has enormous advantages; its use allows you to control children’s expenses and parents to save on expenses. Of course, over time, a unified system of student cards will be introduced, which will cover a huge range of important and necessary financial transactions made by schoolchildren and students of other educational institutions.

Is it possible to see a student’s card through Sberbank Online

Unfortunately, due to the current lack of a unified program for providing social cards to students, it is impossible to see the card in the Sberbank Online system if the child has one.

Only a special student bank card is displayed, which is issued to students and schoolchildren, but this is, in fact, a classic bank card. A scholarship is awarded for it, money can be transferred from another source (parents’ card or account). Money can be easily withdrawn from an ATM; you can use it to pay in stores, etc. without any problems.

How to top up a student’s card through Sberbank Online

In order to top up the balance on a student’s card, you must complete the following steps:

Students in general educational institutions- a special category of citizens. The state is trying to support children and their parents with special measures to make education accessible. One of these measures is the issuance of travel cards for schoolchildren.

Many people have to travel to school by public transport: a suitable educational institution is often located in a distant area. Often with transfers. Travel costs reduce the family budget, which is already suffering from purchases of textbooks, school uniforms and office supplies.

The Ministry of Education and regional authorities, collaborating with carriers, organize the issuance of travel cards so that parents can save on their child’s travel to school, section and back home. With regular use of the benefit, a decent amount remains in the family budget.

What is a school travel card

Travel tickets are documents that give their holder the right to pay for travel on public transport at a discount or to ride it for free. They are also available to all schoolchildren. Benefits do not apply to trips with private carriers (for example, minibuses).

The sale and issue of travel cards for schoolchildren is regulated by regional legislation. Therefore, in different regions, the conditions for receipt and use, cost, amount of travel discounts and other nuances may differ greatly from each other.

Tip: You can find out the latest and most relevant information about the benefits in the region from the school administration. The secretary will tell you what the child is entitled to and how to get it. Two more options - contact hotline Ministry of Education or the city's public transport organization.

Travel cards can be divided into 2 types:

1. Granting the right to discounted travel on several types of public transport. This is useful when the child travels a lot around the city with transfers.
2. Granting the right to travel with a discount on 1 type of public transport. Bus companies, tram depots or the metro issue their travel cards.

When choosing a school pass, you need to analyze how many types of transport and how often your child uses. Sometimes there is no point in buying a general pass if a student travels only by metro and travels by bus a couple of times a month.

How does the pass work?

Travel cards also differ from a financial point of view:

1. Free, intended for schoolchildren who belong to “special categories of citizens”. For example, these are orphans: they travel on public transport for free because they are fully supported by the state.
2. Electronic cards, which are usually issued free of charge. You need to replenish them yourself so that there is enough money in your account to pay. The only drawback of electronic travel cards is that city transport must be equipped with modern validators that can read card data. Large cities can boast of such innovations.
3. Standard travel card for a month with discounted travel. It is gradually being phased out and is being replaced by an electronic version.

Any type of travel pass for schoolchildren is valid only during the school year. Its framework is established by the legislation of the region. Typically, the grace period for school students lasts from September 1 to June 15.

The issued electronic cards are personalized. Passing them on to friends or using someone else’s will not work. A photograph of the child is placed on the discounted travel pass or accompanying document to prevent fraud.

Examples of travel cards in the regions

Although regional rules for obtaining and using school passes vary, they have many similarities:

1. “Student Social Card” (Moscow) – multifunctional plastic card, which appeared in 2014. In addition to discounted travel, you need it to make an appointment with a doctor, pay for meals in the canteen and make purchases. All schoolchildren studying in institutions in Moscow can receive it. Place of residence does not matter. Parents put money on the card, which the child uses to pay for the trip. Travel on the metro for 1 month costs 380 rubles, and on ground transport – 250 rubles.
2. "Ivolga" (Tver). Electronic card with 3 tariffs: “Unified” – 580 rubles; for 2 types of transport – 475 rubles; for 1 type of transport – 285 rubles. Prices for 1 month.
3. C “Student transport card” ( Nizhny Novgorod) you can ride buses, trams, trolleybuses and the metro for free for 920 rubles per month. Choosing one of these types of transport will cost 500 rubles.
4. The cost of reduced travel on a single student travel card in St. Petersburg is 515 rubles.

In all major cities of Russia, travel cards have been introduced that are valid for several types of transport, so that it is more convenient for schoolchildren to move around the city and save money.

How to get a school pass

Travel tickets are sold at special points or ticket offices. Before this you need to take care of collecting necessary documents. Their list by region may vary greatly.

But everywhere you need a certificate from your place of study, drawn up in a generally accepted format. It is obtained from the school secretariat. The certificate requires:

• Full name of the student;
• legal address of the educational institution;
• bank details of the establishment;
• signatures of the school director;
• official seal.

If the document does not meet these requirements, the place where the travel card is issued will be refused. You will have to go to the secretariat again and fill out a new certificate.

You may also need:

1. Photocopy of birth certificate or passport;
2. Compulsory medical insurance policy;
3. SNILS card;
4. Passport of one of the parents or guardians;
5. A photo of the child in printed or electronic version (depending on the method of printing the travel card) measuring 3x4 cm.
6. Sometimes you need a valid student ID with a photo and information from the school. It is usually required in small cities that do not have the technical capabilities to introduce electronic cards. Their residents use standard cards without a photo, which indicate only the owner’s full name. A student ID card with photo is required for the child to verify their identity.

Not having a student ID is not a problem. It can be completed within a few days at the school office. You need to buy the ticket form in advance and take a student photo. At the office, they will paste the photo, put a signature and the official seal of the institution. The student's certificate is valid for 1 year and can then be renewed until graduation.

In some regions, it is strictly stipulated that the presence of the student when submitting documents is mandatory. It will take 14–30 days to issue a travel pass, so it is recommended to purchase it on time.

How to use

A student with a travel card can use the types of transport covered by the document for free. For others, he will have to pay the full price of the ticket.

If the vehicle is equipped with a special device that reads electronic card data, then it is enough to attach it to the validator. In transport with the conductor, you need to show your travel card and, if asked, your student ID with a photo.

Tip: It is important not to miss the next payment time and put money on the card. Even if you miss just 1 day of payment for the next month, the child will not be able to go to school and will miss classes.

An electronic card issued for 1 year can be extended without re-issuing a new one. You need to get a certificate from the school that the child is continuing education, and come back to the travel card issuing point.

Of course, children are actively losing their travel cards. The electronic card is easy to restore. If a child reports a loss, you need to:

• call the customer service number of the company that issued the card and ask to block the loss;
• come to the point of issue and write an application;
• pay for the issue new card(usually 100 rubles);
• get a temporary pass;
• receive a new electronic card after some time.

Old information, balance and already paid services will be saved.

In addition to receiving a pass for city public transport, the child can enjoy benefits for the purchase of railway and air tickets. Schoolchildren also receive a discount on visiting museums, theaters and other cultural and educational institutions. To receive benefits, you must present a student ID or a certificate drawn up in accordance with all the rules.
