Today there are not many ways where you can top up your Vodafone account without commission
. After all, all payment services, from terminals to vouchers, force subscribers to overpay for their services. If previously some points of sale of Vodafone services allowed you to avoid commissions, now this is not possible. Even Privat24, which was free for this operation until recently, also charges money for each such transaction. So, how can you avoid unnecessary costs?
To use the services of the Vodafon mobile operator, you must constantly top up your account. Today we will talk about several ways to replenish your personal account. You can use any of these methods.
Vodafone account top-up via terminal
One of the most common ways to top up a SIM card balance is to pay through a terminal. Such payment terminals can be found in shopping centers, markets and other public places.
To pay, you need to complete several steps:
- First you need to select.
- You must provide a phone number. Important! Carefully check the data you have recorded.
- Then enter the amount you want to top up your account with and insert the bills.
- Confirm this operation.
- After the amount appears, which will be withdrawn, as well as the commission and the amount that will go to the balance account.
Other payment methods
NOTE! These payment methods may have a small fee.

How to top up your Vodafone account without commission on the official website?
One of the places where you can top up your Vodafone account without a commission in Ukraine from a bank card is the company’s official website. On mutually beneficial terms, there is cooperation between Vodafon and Privat Bank, also with the Portmone and Easy Pay service.
For each of these payment systems, the procedure will be slightly different, primarily with data entry. Let's look at an example of how to top up Vodafone without commission using a Privat Bank card.
First of all, by going to the link https://www.vodafone.ua/ru/payment, you need to select the form of service provision. For prepayment, please indicate your subscriber number; for a contract – personal account number. Check the required box. The number is entered in international format. Select the operator code and enter the numbers.
Next, select the replenishment amount. For convenience, customers are asked to choose one of the suitable ones. This is 50, 100, or 200 hryvnia. But you can enter another one. The main thing is that the indicated value corresponds to the range from 5 to 15,000 hryvnia.
Next, at the bottom, select the PrivatBank service and click “Next”. Now all that remains is to enter your card details. This is, directly, 16 digits of the number (on the front side of the card), expiration date, and three digits CVV2/CVC2. They can be viewed on the back of the plastic card. They are located at the very end of the seven-digit number, next to the signature area, and are separated from the rest of the numbers by a characteristic indentation.
After correctly filling out all fields, click “Pay”. If everything is correct, you will receive an SMS notification about the amount deposited into the account and about the withdrawal of money from the bank card. If unsuccessful, an error message will appear on the computer or mobile phone screen. In this case, funds will not be debited, nor will they be credited. It is worth double-checking the correctness of the entered data and trying again. If everything is correct, but the transaction does not go through, you should try to repeat the Vodafone online top-up procedure a little later.
Perhaps the Internet limit for payment from a card on the Internet or technical robots on the site has been exceeded. But this is more the exception than the rule.
Available methods of transferring funds
The mobile operator Vodafone offers only one official way to withdraw money from your phone account.
In addition, some payment processors have independently invented fund transfer options. To transfer money from MTS to Privatbank, use the following methods.
Via Vodafone Pay
You can transfer money from Vodafone to a Privatbank 24 card by downloading the mobile application to your smartphone from the Vodafone website.
Download the Vodafon Pay app for Android:
Download the Vodafon Pay app on IOS:
After installing the application, using the funds transfer functions, you can send a payment to your Privatbank card. The minimum possible amount to pay is 5 hryvnia, the maximum is 8000 hryvnia.
Through additional services
Also, online services offer the opportunity to withdraw money from your Vodafone account. These include:
- Easypay. Here you can specify the details for transferring funds and the Vodafone number from which the payment will be sent to the card;
- Tradevisa. These services will help you transfer funds to Privatbank based on a completed application, which indicates the details for the operation.
Security when topping up your Vodafone Ukraine account online
Unfortunately, not all people are ready to trust online banking transactions. These are largely individuals with conservative views who would rather overpay a couple of rubles than use the Internet for a similar transaction, but for free.
In fairness, it is worth saying that indeed, at times, such operations may turn out to be unsafe. Fraud is very common in this industry. And as soon as malicious persons take possession of the card data, they can immediately say goodbye to all their hard-earned funds.
Rest assured, if you use unverified services, and there are a huge number of them, you can fall into such a trap. Therefore, we strongly recommend that for such operations you use only the official websites of trusted service providers. You can easily find out about their reputation by visiting forums and reading customer reviews.
The best indicator of the reliability of a site is the protocol in the https:// format at the beginning of its address. This is exactly what the beginning of the site address will look like, given its security and confidentiality of the processed client data. Therefore, when you go to vodafon.ua to top up your Vodafon account for free from a bank card, you don’t have to worry.
Commissions
Vodafon Pay allows you to transfer money to Privatbank with a commission of 2%.
