Top up your QIWI account via phone: Video
When I was already tired of spending my earned money on Chinese online sites, I decided to find out how to spend it in a real store, just stupidly go to a nearby store for bread. Unfortunately, the majority of all money flows into the WebMoney wallet. But I found a way out for myself. I had my qiwi wallet started
Registering an e-wallet is simple and easy. The wallet number will be your cell phone number. Three accounts are set as standard - this is the main ruble account, then the USD account and the mobile phone account.
With web money, I usually top up my cell phone account; of course, this all happens without commission. I transferred as much money as I received on my phone. But in the Qiwi wallet there is a function on the mobile phone account with which you can transfer money to the ruble Qiwi wallet account.
This is where they will take a commission, you can see on the screen that they charge 9.9 percent for the transfer and plus MTS will charge 10 rubles for the transfer. But if you simply withdraw money through banks, either from Web Money or from a Qiwi wallet, you will also be charged a commission in any case. (You can, of course, create a formal certificate on Web Money and link it to the Qiwi wallet number, but for this you need to send your passport data. I don’t really want to do this - send a scan of my passport somewhere). Then I created a virtual Qiwi card. You are given three options to choose from. I ordered the last one - kiwi visa plastic.
Its characteristics can be read on the screenshot.
I bought it for a hundred rubles. I arrived by Russian Post in about a month, and not in two weeks as they say (but I blame the Russian Post more, why I don’t want to explain, everyone already knows about its speed of movement of parcels). This is what the map looks like in real life
This card's account is your Qiwi wallet account. I have already paid with a card for a purchase at a local pharmacy by bank transfer. Immediately after payment I received an SMS about the money spent. Now I’m glad that I can use electronic money when paying for any product in the store. This downtime is more convenient than making transfers to bank accounts.
PySy. I recently withdrew money from a Sberbank ATM. There were 258 rubles in the account. I withdrew 200 rubles + 50 rubles and + 2% i.e. 4 rubles of the amount were written off for commission.
