How to transfer money from Yota to Megafon

In order to spend as little money as possible for using the services of a telecom operator, it often turns out that several SIM cards are in active use: somewhere calls are cheaper, somewhere Internet traffic is more profitable, and in some places outside the city there can be no connection at all selectively. So it turns out that servicing two accounts may require transferring funds from one to another. Let's consider such a transfer of money from Iota to Megafon.

To avoid confusing numbers, use the function of assigning a name to each SIM card. Also in the settings you can ban certain types of communication services in relation to the SIM card.

What restrictions might there be?

It is not enough to know how to transfer money. You must also remember that there are certain restrictions. Of course, they are not as severe as they might seem, but they exist and they must be taken into account when making a payment. When transferring using the “Money” system, there are the following features:

You can transfer at least ten rubles to a Beeline number at a time;
You can transfer no more than four thousand rubles to a Beeline number at a time;
for the entire period it is possible to make transfers totaling up to five thousand rubles;
for the entire week, a subscriber can transfer no more than ten thousand rubles to someone else’s account.

It is unlikely that subscribers will need to transfer such large sums, so the mobile operator’s clients do not feel any constraint.

“Please tell us about possible problems with transferring money from one operator to another

This is important at work. I’m interested in the max and min values of the limits set for this service.”

Maxim, Samara, 36 years old.

Before you transfer money from Yota to Beeline, you need to understand what restrictions there are when making transfers. They are quite democratic, so in most cases they will be invisible, but it’s still worth knowing about them:

The minimum transaction amount for 1 time is at least 10 rubles.
The maximum transfer amount at one time is no more than 4,000 rubles.
The maximum amount of transactions per 1 day is no more than 5,000 rubles.
The maximum transaction amount for one working week should not exceed 10,000 rubles.

Similar to banking operations of replenishment and transfer between accounts, there are certain restrictions on transfers from Yota.

min transfer must be at least 10 rubles;
max transfer can be no more than 4000 rubles;
max per day you can withdraw no more than 5,000 rubles;
max you can withdraw no more than 10,000 rubles in one working week.

Limits for making payments via Mobi Money:

one transfer must cost at least 10 rubles;
one transfer should not exceed 30,000 rubles;

This operation has its limitations. So they can be classified as:

10 rub. – minimum transfer amount;
4000 rub. – maximum transfer amount;
5000 rub. – maximum amount of transactions per 1 day;
10,000 rub. – maximum transfer amount per week.

Please note It is easy to transfer funds to your phone in this way; the funds will be credited within 5-10 minutes.

How to transfer money from Yota to MTS?

To perform this option, you need to deposit funds into the balance of your Yota SIM card. Replenishment can be done by mobile payment using the service provided by Eta together with the MOBI Money service. The service is called Yota-payment. Funds are credited according to the following algorithm:

You can transfer money to an MTS phone using the following methods:

via SMS;
on the official website www.yota.ru;
using a special application;
USSD command;
when visiting the Yota office.

Via SMS message

If you are not connected to the Internet, you can transfer money from Yota to MTS using an SMS message. To do this, select the desired phone number in the “Contacts” folder and send an SMS with the following content: #transfer000. 000 – the required amount of transferred funds, selected by the sender. For example, if you need to transfer 250 rubles, then the text in the SMS message will look like: #transfer250.

After a short period of time, the sender will receive an SMS with a request to confirm the transaction. After clicking the button confirming the action, the recipient will receive a notification with information about the operation performed.

The commission will be 4%+10 rubles. This simple method is beneficial for transferring large amounts, as you can save on commission fees.

On the official portal www yota ru

A money transfer to the account of another operator through the Yota website can be made using the following algorithm:

Log in to the Yota website using your login and password or register if the client is using the service for the first time. The password to enter your personal account is specified in the contract, which is drawn up when purchasing a SIM card. If the need arises, the password is changed. The client's personal account is used as a login.
Open the “Money” tab. The section is intended for transferring money from Yota to clients of other operators.
Click on the “Mobile Communications” tab. A page will open with the logos of all mobile operators that cooperate with Yota on transfers.
Select and click on the MTS logo. On the page that opens, all empty lines are filled in. The amount of the transfer and the numbers of the sender and recipient of the transfer are indicated.
Click the “Pay” button. The subscriber sending funds from Yota will receive an SMS message with a transaction confirmation code. Enter it in the appropriate line and click the “Enroll” button. The shipment is credited to the recipient's phone balance. When transferring the required amount, you should take into account the commission. It is 5%.

Through a special application

You can make a mobile money transfer through a special application pay/mts.ru/webportal/payments. The service has a clear interface, which allows you to easily and quickly transfer the required amount to another subscriber. When completing a transaction, indicate the recipient's phone number, amount and send a request. After checking the data, the money is credited to the recipient's balance. The sender receives a notification about the completed transaction.

When specifying the amount, the commission for the service must be taken into account, or the subscriber will receive the funds minus the commission. In some cases, restrictions may be set on the minimum or maximum transfer amount.

Using USSD request

You can send money from Yota if there is no Internet connection using the USSD command. To do this, activate the Mobi.Money service in your personal account. Once connected, the translation functions perform the following actions:

The combination *145# is dialed in the phone and a call is sent;
a panel will open through which you manage your account balance;
in the “Mobile Communications” tab, select the Yota operator, on the page that opens, in the corresponding windows, indicate the payer’s number, the recipient’s personal account number, type of payment, transfer amount with or without commission, Internet provider;
click the “Pay” button.

Money from the transaction is instantly credited to the recipient’s personal account.

Visiting the company office

You need to go with your passport to the Yota operator service point closest to the subscriber’s place of residence. The client is given an application form in which his data is entered, the bank card number for transferring money, the date and amount of replenishment of the account. The application is reviewed within 1 month.

What to do in this situation

Unfortunately, there are no real ways to solve the problem, even when using third-party tools. We can only wait for Yota to launch its own payment services. But you can’t really count on this - the company has been operating on the market for several years, and no progress in this direction is yet visible.

If you urgently need to transfer money to MegaFon, do it in the following ways:

Get yourself a Sberbank card - it will allow you to pay for the services of mobile operators without commission, using a convenient payment application or the Sberbank-Online system.
Use the nearest MegaFon office - payments are accepted here without commission.
Use the cash registers of partner stores - these are Euroset or Svyaznoy, where they accept payments to MegaFon.

Numerous ATMs and bank terminals will help you transfer money to a MegaFon mobile phone - many of them send such payments without commission (even from third-party cards). We leave terminals as a backup measure - the commission here can reach 9-10% (depending on the level of greed of the owner).

Via the official website

The personal account of Yota subscribers provides a huge range of the most necessary functions that allow the subscriber to always stay in touch. However, even here, it will not be possible to make a money transfer for free. This is directly related to the recipient of the money, which is another operator.

To use the service you need to go through a simple registration. After visiting the official page of the provider, you must click on the authorization button. The user will be asked to fill in personal information for subsequent identification. After confirming all the entered information, you can proceed to the account replenishment service of another operator.

User instructions:

go to the “Money” category;
go to the “Mobile balance replenishment” section;
indicate the recipient of funds to whom you need to transfer a specific amount (Megafon);
fill in the empty fields, indicating the required details;
check the correctness of the entered data;
press the “Translate” button.

To complete the transaction, you must enter a special code received in the form of an SMS message. The success of the transfer is confirmed by the receipt of money in the account and receipt of the corresponding notification.

Using SIM cards from different operators, you can always borrow money to transfer it to the negative balance of your mobile phone number. It is enough to choose the method you like and not limit yourself in communicating or transmitting the necessary information.

Visit to the company office

An option to transfer funds from one operator to another is to come to the dealer office of the Internet operator Iota. There is also an option when a user of the Yota operator wants to cash out funds that are on their mobile phone account. Or the user mistakenly topped up his account with an amount greater than planned. To get a refund, you need to come to the office of the Yota operator with your passport.

At the Yota office, the user will be given an application to fill out. In the application, the user will need to write all the questions for the sake of the solutions he came up with. The user must also indicate in the application the exact date and time of replenishment of the account and attach a receipt for payment. The Yota operator is given a period of one month to consider the application. Within a month, the Yota company must respond to the applications and give a response to the user about making a decision. In rare cases, decisions are made by the company earlier than the specified period, within a week from the date of application.

If the user breaks the contract with the Yota operator, then the latter is obliged under the contract to pay the remaining money in the account to the user. The user will be given the opportunity to write applications for a refund indicating the details where the funds will subsequently be credited.

Necessary conditions for transfer

Make sure that you are registered in your Personal Account on the Iota website. Registration can be done directly on the website using the personal account number and password specified in the agreement. In addition, the account balance must contain the amount necessary to carry out transactions with the accounts.

Limits and restrictions

The system has restrictions on the amount of funds transferred:

the minimum amount of transfer for one transaction is 10 rubles;
the maximum transfer volume for one transaction is RUB 4,000;
limit on the total amount of transfers per day – 5,000 rubles;
limit on the total amount of transfers per week – 10,000 rubles.

In addition, if you convert funds to the account of a subscriber of another operator, a commission will be deducted from your balance depending on the operator: to transfer the selected amount to a Beeline, MTS or Tele2 number, the system will automatically withdraw from 6 to 8.5% of the transfer amount.

Why is the payment not going through?

Often, subscribers of the mobile operator Yota are faced with the problem of refusal to make payments, being at a loss about the true reason for such a refusal. Meanwhile, there are a number of circumstances that all clients of the company need to be aware of:

the application does not indicate the amount intended to be written off;
the transfer limit set by the operator has been exceeded;
there are funds in the account, but they are not enough to pay the commission;
The recipient's number is incorrect;
There is no amount on the balance required for transfer.

Using a mobile application

“Tell me, how can I transfer money from a phone with one telecom operator to another? I had this difficulty due to working on two SIM cards. It's very convenient to travel with one. On the other hand, it is located in the city. They say this is easy to do using keys. Thanks in advance! I read your site all the time.”

Anastasia, Saratov, 28 years old

Another simple option for transferring money from Yota to Megafon is done using your phone. To do this you need to do the following simple steps:

Dial on your phone and press call. The balance control panel will open.
From the panel menu, select Megaphone.
Enter the number to which you want to transfer money. Confirm the transfer.

Making a reverse transfer from Megafon to Yota is even easier. It is enough to dial one USSD request of the format * 133 * transaction amount * subscriber_number #

and press call. After this, you will need to confirm the operation - and the funds will be transferred to the number of the second mobile operator.

The second option for transferring money is through Yota applications, namely an additional application called Yota money. Just like in the previous methods, for a successful transfer you need to be a registered Iota user or register for this operation.

Using USSD request

Most users of the Yota operator prefer a simpler method of transferring money from the Yota operator to Megafon - this method is called USSD request. This method, like the method with SMS transfer, does not require Internet access, which makes it accessible to everyone.

Transfer instructions using the USSD request method:

To transfer money, you need to dial *145# on your mobile device.
Press the call button.
A translation menu will appear on your phone screen.
We select the operator to which we will make the transfer, in this case Megafon.
We write the amount of funds transferred.
We indicate the phone number to which we are transferring money.
Click the transfer confirmation button.

Attention! This transfer method can be carried out by users of the Yota operator who have activated the service (Mobi Money).

Transfer from Megafon bank card

Megafon provides its subscribers with the opportunity to link a phone number and a bank card. For this purpose, a card is issued whose balance matches the balance on the phone. Servicing this card is free of charge, and you can get it at any Megafon subscriber department within a few minutes:

Come to the Megafon branch;
Fill out an application for a bank card;
You receive a card that you can use immediately.

Transferring to Yota from a bank card is no less simple than through a message or USSD command. To do this, you need to download the appropriate application in accordance with the platform you are using, log in to it and select payment for mobile communications, where you enter the Iota subscriber number. After this, you can complete the payment.

There is no fee for such a transfer.

Another way is to use the official Iota website. On it, in the “Payment” section, you can fill out a multi-step payment form, indicating your phone number, transfer amount and bank card details. There is also no commission provided here.

Working ways to transfer money from Yota to Megafon

Using two SIM cards on your phone, you want to stay connected on any network. Mobile operators have prepared the most convenient ways to transfer money from Yota to Megafon. This can be done in different ways. It is enough to follow a clear algorithm of actions and choose the most suitable option for replenishing the account of another operator.

go to the “Mobile balance replenishment” section;
indicate the recipient of funds to whom you need to transfer a specific amount (Megafon);
fill in the empty fields, indicating the required details;

A personal account is a kind of virtual environment designed to manage an account and services connected to the subscriber’s SIM card. Every mobile operator has a similar “setting”. And Yota is no exception. It is LC that helps transfer funds from Iota to Iota.

To do this, the subscriber must:

Create a personal account. The profile registration procedure takes only a few minutes. The option is provided completely free of charge.
Open your account and log in. If you have forgotten your account password, you must click on the “Forgot your password?” hyperlink, and then recover it by following the prompts on the screen.

How to transfer money from Tele2 to Yota

Money transfers between operators are a quick way to top up your account for friends or relatives, pay for the Internet, etc. The choice of the optimal method for performing this procedure will depend on several factors: the availability of Internet access, the availability of Tele2 network coverage, etc.

Translation from Tele2 website

If at the time of replenishing the balance of the Yota operator you have a device with Internet access at hand, you can do this through your personal account on the website of the mobile operator Tele2. To do this you need:

log in to the main Tele2;
log in to your personal account using your phone number and password;
in the main menu, select the “Deposits and Transfers” section, in it – the “Transfers and Payments” item;
on the page that opens, click on “All transfers and payments”;
in the form, fill in the fields “Sender number”, “Phone number” and “Amount”;
confirm your agreement with the rules by ticking and click the “Translate” button;
the next form that opens will ask for a payment confirmation code - you need to enter the numbers received in the SMS message to the sender’s number;
complete the procedure with the “Confirm” button, after which the money will be immediately credited to the recipient’s number.

The minimum amount for such an operation is 10 rubles, the maximum is 5 thousand rubles. The daily transaction limit is 50.

This is not the fastest way to transfer money from Tele2 to Yota phone, but it is convenient because of its clarity: at any time you can check the correctness of the entered data or cancel the procedure.

Via USSD request

This method is suitable for those who do not have access to the Internet, but urgently need to make a transfer from Tele2 to Eta. To do this, you can use the system prompts or perform the procedure using a one-time request.

First option:

dial the USSD command *159# (*135# and *145# work similarly) and press the call button;
a dialog box will open in which you will need to select “Mobile phone”, then enter the number to which the money is transferred and the transfer amount;
confirm the procedure.

A one-time request is formulated as follows: *159*7*recipient number*payment amount#. Before pressing the call button, it is recommended to check the correctness of the entered data, since there will be no confirmation or cancellation steps in this case. Upon completion of the transaction, an SMS notification will be sent to both numbers (sender and recipient).

Before replenishing your balance, you need to check the amount available for transfer using the combination *104#.

Transfer money via SMS

Another option on how to transfer money from Tele2 to Yota is to send an SMS with the data necessary for the transaction. The message is sent to the toll-free service number 159, the money is transferred immediately, so you also need to carefully check whether there is an error in the recipient’s number or amount.

The text of the message is as follows: yota, i.e. after the name of the operator to which the transfer is being made, there is a space, then a combination of digits of the recipient's number and the amount separated by a space.

After this operation, at least 10 rubles must remain in the account, and if the sender’s number was activated less than 2 months ago, then the required balance is 100 rubles.

Commission for transfer to Yota

Tele2 charges a commission for transferring money to the account of another operator. In the conditions it is indicated as 3% of the amount, but not less than 5 rubles. It is necessary to take this into account before starting the procedure and first check the balance for the availability of funds for the transfer and the minimum required balance in the account after the transaction.

When transferring through the Tele2 website, the amount to be written off will be shown taking into account the commission. Thus, the user will know exactly how much will be debited from the account after the transfer.

available via USSD request. To use it, do this.

Enter the following characters on your phone keypad: . “ZZ” is the amount of money that needs to be transferred to “Iota”, and “XXXXXXXXXX” is the subscriber number in international format.
Check the request for accuracy and press the call key.

After this, a message will be sent to your phone stating that the application is being processed. After some time you will receive another SMS. It will contain a special code that will be required to confirm the operation. After you do everything according to the instructions, your Yota account balance will be replenished.

Via SMS

This method of transferring money can be used by subscribers who do not have free access to the Internet and do not have the above-mentioned service in their arsenal. Such clients can receive a cash offer by sending an SMS to 8900. In the body of the message, you must indicate the recipient's phone number (without +8) and the transfer amount.

Transfer money from Yota balance to Megafon

Clients of the mobile operator Yota mainly use SIM cards for tablet computers, modems or routers - the conditions for accessing the Internet from the company are the most favorable in terms of connection speed and stability, and the cost of the package is very affordable when comparing similar services from other mobile operators. Of course, on tablet computers, even if they are powered by a modem, it is very difficult to send SMS requests or interactive commands in the same way as from any modern smartphone. But sometimes it is simply necessary to transfer excess funds from a Yota SIM card, for example, to a Megafon device.

The company understands that network clients only need a stable Internet connection, so it does not try to develop services for transferring funds to numbers of other operators as quickly as possible; by doing this, it seems to encourage the use of only the Yota network, without really understanding the needs of its clients. But still, there are several available ways to transfer money from Iota to Megafon. At first glance, they may seem a little unusual, but they still work, and if by mistake you put extra money on your operator’s SIM card, you can withdraw it to Megafon’s phone.

Through the YOTA Money service

For some time now, the operator has opened access to funds transfers through the Money service. To use it you need to take several steps:

You only need to make a transfer once, then the system saves the template, and you can make financial transactions to transfer money at any time without wasting time filling out the data. You need to create a QIWI wallet in advance; how this is done is the topic of a separate article.

YOTA Money and Megafon card

You can make everything much easier if you pre-ordered a special card from Megafon. If not, then complete instructions for using plastic are here.

The YOTA Money service currently only allows transfers to cards. The transfer is carried out according to the same scheme as to a QIWI wallet, but the balance of the card and wallet will be immediately synchronized, and there is no need to do any unnecessary manipulations.

Terms and restrictions:

Minimum amount – 10 rubles;
Maximum – 4 thousand rubles;
Only 5 thousand rubles are allowed to be transferred per day;
The weekly amount of transfers cannot exceed 10 thousand rubles.

Through the YOTA account management menu

After installing the SIM card into the device, the service center is simultaneously activated, through which you can manage your mobile account and transfer money to a Megafon subscriber:

The money will be debited from your balance in a few minutes.

Via the Mobi.Money mobile application

This is a universal service for mobile transfers from SIM cards of any operators.

To use it, open this page from your tablet or desktop computer:

The service for transferring funds from Yota's account to Megafon is located at this link; Fill out all payment fields correctly - please note: the transfer will be from a mobile account! Click on the payment link.

But you can also use transfer by sending a request via SMS:

In the text field, enter the following information: meg number amount;
The request must be sent to number 3116.

If your device is powered by a modem, then during installation the software should have been installed, that is, by clicking on the icon, a dialog box will open. It should have an SMS sending option; you should use it to send a transfer request.

Possible problems and their solutions

The company's office is also ready to help its clients transfer money from one account to another operator's number or solve the problem that has arisen. The reason may be an erroneous crediting of funds or the need to increase the balance on a bank card.

In any case, you need to go through the standard procedure:

fill out a special application form and indicate personal data and required details; It is important to provide accurate information regarding the transfer amount, time, and the subscriber’s phone number where the funds should be transferred.

The standard procedure for considering an application does not exceed one month. If the matter does not require delay, then you can ask the employee to process the request in a shorter period of time, but not less than one week.

If funds were mistakenly transferred to another number, then their return is carried out through an official application at the office of the mobile operator. The money is returned back to the phone account, withdrawn to a bank card or e-wallet.

To avoid any difficulties with translation, you should adhere to specific rules:

first check that there are sufficient funds in the account;
follow the instructions carefully;
comply with all existing restrictions on the limits of depositing money for one transaction or more.

Money may be credited by mistake if the subscriber initially provided incorrect data and made a mistake during the transfer. You can always ask for help from an operator on the hotline.

Transfer money between operators

Crossing the line between payment through terminals has been successfully completed. Now you don’t need to frantically search for a payment system to deposit money into your number. Internet technologies and various services of mobile operators have made transfers between numbers convenient and fast. And we don’t yet take into account that you can use your phone number for completely different purposes, from paying traffic fines to having fun with quizzes. But let's look at the other side of the coin: how will such a benefit turn out to us?

There are several ways to deposit money on Yota:

Through ATMs and payment terminals - a very convenient way if you have a bank card with you, with which you can make a transfer to a number without a commission;
Online banking systems - if you have access to the Internet, then paying for “Iota” will also not be a problem, since you will not need to look for an ATM, but you can simply go to the bank’s Personal Account and make a transfer;
Electronic payment systems – go to the website of the operator you need, choose a convenient method and top up your account without commission;
Cash reception desks or communication shops are an old-fashioned method that will nevertheless allow you to pay for communication services without a commission;
Third-party terminals are a relic of payment history that is still in use. For payment of mobile communications you will be charged a commission of up to 10%.

As we can see, there are really many ways to top up Yota, and most of them allow you to do this without commission. But how to transfer money from Megafon number to Yota?

Third party services

After sending the command, we confirm our intentions via SMS and wait for the transfer to another number. In a similar way, you can transfer money to a subscriber of another operator, but with a higher commission. The same functions are implemented by other cellular operators, with the exception of Iota.

Transferring from Yota to MegaFon is impossible - for this purpose the official website of the operator was completely “shoveled” and questions were asked to technical support. The results were negative. There is no such functionality in the Iota mobile application - there is generally little useful here, except for managing the content of the tariff.

We have already used the Mobi.Money service in our reviews. This is a multifunctional payment system for paying for various goods and services. There is a money transfer system here, it is possible to pay utility bills or repay a loan. Methods of payment used:

Cell phones.
Bank cards.

It is possible to transfer money from one phone to another - to convert it, so to speak. And here the experiment failed. The thing is that it is possible to transfer money from MegaFon to Yota through Mobi.Money, but the opposite direction turned out to be inaccessible. Yota balance cannot be used as a means of payment at all.

How to transfer money from Yota to a card: various ways to transfer money

Our reader writes:

“My parents live in another city, and I study at a university at a distance from them. Sometimes they send me money, but no matter how hard I try to explain to them how to transfer it to the card, they just can’t or don’t want to figure it out, and in the end I have to struggle with cash transfers. They also sometimes send me money to Iota’s account, it’s easy for them. I’m thinking - what if they throw money at me only for my operator, and I transfer some part to the card? Can this be done?

Anastasia, 19 years old

There are situations when you have deposited too much money into your personal account with your telecom operator - and therefore you want to withdraw the excess. Another option is that someone had to transfer money to you, but the only convenient way to transfer was to put this money into your phone/Internet account, as in the case of Anastasia.

In this case, you need to figure out how to withdraw money from your Yota balance. More specifically, we will consider how to transfer money from Iota to a card, since this option would be the most convenient and preferable for many.

Is it even possible to transfer money from Yota to a card? The answer is somewhat disappointing - no. So far, this telecom operator has not introduced the ability to directly withdraw money from a personal account to a bank card, although other direct transfers are available, for example, to various mobile operators.

What to do? We'll have to take detours. They will take a little longer, but in the end you can still successfully transfer money from Yota to a Sberbank card or any other bank of which you are a client.

The longest option for transferring money from Yota to a card, but feasible without unnecessary overpayment. You need to contact the service department of your telecom operator nearest to you, and then write an application for a refund.

Indicate in the application the amount you want to withdraw from your personal account. After processing your application, you will be given money in cash. Now all you have to do is go to your bank - or use its terminal - and deposit the fee into your card account.

Use of payment systems

If you need to get money as quickly as possible, then here’s how to withdraw money from Yota to a card using payment systems such as Qiwi. Topping up QIWI is possible directly through your Yota personal account. Here's what to do:

Go to the Yota website and go to your personal account. Enter your login and password if you have previously used the services of your personal account or enter the personal account number and password specified in your agreement if you have not previously used the services of this service.
In your personal account, find the “Money” item. At this point, go to the “Pay” sub-item, then click on the QIWI logo - or find Qiwi wallet through the search. If there is another payment system convenient for you on the list, you can use it.
Enter the personal account number of the payment system, select the amount of money you want to transfer. After that, wait for an SMS message with a confirmation code. Enter it in the field and click the “Enroll” button.

Important: The commission, depending on the chosen payment system, can be up to 6%. After this, go to the QIWI website, where you select transfer to a bank card

Enter your bank card number and confirm the transaction. You will be charged a commission of 2%+50 rubles. If your bank is a partner of this payment system, then the commission may be less

After this, go to the QIWI website, where you select a transfer to a bank card. Enter your bank card number and confirm the transaction. You will be charged a commission of 2%+50 rubles. If your bank is a partner of this payment system, then the commission may be lower.

What restrictions might there be?

There are no special restrictions when submitting an application for withdrawal (if there are any, the employee of the branch to which you applied will inform you about them).

When withdrawing to a payment system, there are the following restrictions:

The amount of your transaction is at least 10 rubles.
The maximum one-time transfer amount is no more than 4,000 rubles.
The maximum daily transfer is no more than 5,000 rubles.
The maximum transaction amount for one working week is no more than RUB 10,000.

Alternative option

If the above methods for some reason are not suitable for the user, there is one tricky, but nevertheless effective method. Its main disadvantage is the large time investment.

In this case, the client is asked to visit the operator’s service point and write an application to withdraw funds from the card. The subscriber must have a passport with him to confirm his identity, as well as full card details to receive money. As a rule, data such as account number and bank name are not required; it is enough to indicate the type of card, its number, owner details and validity period of the plastic card.

Money is withdrawn to the card within 30 days from the date of application. Then they can be used in any convenient direction, both to replenish the balance of another operator and for other needs.

But, of course, this option is suitable specifically for cashing out a balance that contains a truly impressive amount of money. But for simply replenishing the balance of someone else’s number, it’s not very useful. For a regular transfer of funds, the methods described above are also quite suitable.
