Bank card holders should not ignore Internet banking. This option stands out due to the completeness of the information contained in it. Here you will be able to find out not only the remaining cash balance, but also look at the last completed transactions, transfers and payments, study the terms of use of the payment instrument and clarify some other nuances.
Similar information is available in mobile banking. But its advantage is that it is always at hand. To use it, you just need to have access to the Internet and remember your login and password for authorization.
Another advantage of these approaches is the ability to quickly make a payment or transfer money to another account. You definitely won’t be able to do this by calling the contact center.
Checking MTS balance through the service/portal
Another way is to use the MTS Service (Portal) . Access to information is carried out by entering the USSD code. There are several queries, each requiring the following actions:
- To find out the balance , the subscriber will need to dial *100*1# .
- If a service package was activated for a certain time period , then information about it is provided by dialing *100*2# .
- To find out about the balance of funds taken from the company on credit (), the subscriber must dial *100*3#.
Interesting! Using the above combinations, it is convenient to keep track of your money. A person will be able to deposit the amount in advance if he notices a lack of funds on his phone balance.
Call technical support
To find out the amount of call time remaining under your tariff, you can call 0890 or 880025008890. For Russian subscribers, calls are completely free. A certain difficulty with this method is the frequent congestion of hotlines, which complicates the process of calling an operator.
After waiting for the specialist’s response, the subscriber will need to provide his phone number and his own contact information (full name) to receive the necessary data. The specialist will tell you in detail about the balance or clarify other information on the tariff.
How to check the balance of an MTS money card through the customer service center?

- through your personal account from a card of another bank - the money is credited immediately, the commission can be debited by the bank from whose account the debit is made.
- MTS Money wallet - it is best to activate the service at a mobile phone store, since in this case no commission is charged for completed actions.
- At MTS Bank ATMs.
- Cash replenishment is instant, there is no commission.
- from another card - the transaction fee is 1% of the amount, but the minimum is 49 rubles.
- At partners. Through MKB terminals it is possible to transfer up to 10,000 rubles without commission.
- Transfer between banks. Some institutions offer free money transfers.
- After replenishing the credit card, all that remains is to complete the blocking procedure; to do this, you should select one of the methods presented above.
An alternative way to check the MTS Bank balance using SMS
Since users do not always have the opportunity to connect to the Internet to find the nearest branch or at least an ATM and log into the application, the developers offer SMS notifications. How it works:
Within a few minutes you will receive a notification showing information about connected cards. Additionally, you can contact the hot support number to check your main account and get advice. If for some reason the notification does not arrive, you must call technical support or leave a message in the feedback form, which is located on the main page of the site in the “contacts” section.
