Kyivstar subscribers can top up their account and activate the necessary services even if they do not have the required amount on hand. Using the “Extra Money” service, you can order from 20 to 300 UAH to your bonus account and use it to pay for the services you need, even while roaming.
Experts from the national operator helped us figure out how to connect, use and disconnect Kyivstar Extra Money. Let's find out all the features of the service and find out how to profitably use it.
Borrow money Kyivstar
One of the popular services from Kyivstar is Extra Money , that is, the opportunity to borrow money from Kyivstar for further use of the operator’s services. You can apply for any amount you are interested in, ranging from 10 to 250 UAH, and the service is available both for subscribers in Ukraine and for those who are roaming. This option is not free, and a commission is charged for its use after replenishing the account (the only exception is some Kyivstar tariffs).
Attention! The Extra Money Kyivstar service provides for replenishing a bonus account from which you cannot transfer funds to other numbers, to a card or to pay for home Internet.
Peculiarities
The main condition for using emergency money is its timely return. Otherwise, the possibility of re-loaning will be blocked. Therefore, you need to pay off the entire amount of debt, along with the commission, in order to further use the service.
Refunds are processed automatically after the first top-up. In this case, the credited amount must exceed the amount you borrowed, plus the commission. If, after crediting, there are insufficient funds on the balance, the remaining balance will be withdrawn after the next transaction. It is very convenient to repay the debt in installments if necessary.
If you have a positive account, both the main and bonus accounts, the bonus is debited first. Therefore, first of all, control it (*109#). The main balance is checked using the combination *111#.
For additional questions, you can contact the customer support contact center for help. Simply put, call the operator to clarify any unclear points.
