About tariffs and conditions

First, you should familiarize yourself with the tariffs and terms of service provided by the bank, on which you can use the card. Having looked only at them, you can make a conclusion for yourself, you want to issue a card "MTS Money" or not. Pay attention to all the items in the tariff table, because any of them can be decisive for your choice. It:

• The size of the credit limit.
• The interest rate on the loan.
• Grace period of crediting.
• Minimum monthly payment.
• Penalties for non-performance of debt obligations.

• The cost of annual maintenance.
• The cost of re-issuing the card until expiration.
• The cost of reissuing the card on the initiative of the bank (at the end of the validity period).
• Commission on receipt of own funds in an ATM.
• Commission on receipt of credit funds in an ATM.
• Commission for the receipt of funds in cash desks of OJSC MTS-Bank without a card.
• Commission for Internet banking.

Many people do not say very well about such a banking product as "MTS Money". The map, negative comments about which you can read, is not so bad and has its advantages. The reasons for customer dissatisfaction are often due to the fact that they do not carefully read the terms of the service contract, and sometimes sign it without looking at all. It is worth, at least, to familiarize yourself with the tariffs and conditions for servicing the cards in order to soberly assess what to expect and whether you need this card in general.

What is the MTS-Bank card line?

"MTS Money" - a card based on the international payment system MasterCard, available in several versions. You can choose between a debit card ("Basic" tariff), a classic credit card MasterCard Standard, which is represented by two tariffs: "Plus" and "Extra", and a credit card MasterCard Gold.

Debit card of "MTS-Bank"

Speaking about the debit card, we can note only one plus. If you are an MTS subscriber, then 1% returns to your cellular account with a monthly turnover on the card. However, those few who already have a debit card "MTS Money", conditions of this kind are not appreciated.

Judge for yourself: the annual maintenance of the card costs 300 rubles, in order to make purchases by cashless settlement, it is necessary to constantly replenish it. If you transfer from another card, the commission is taken, and you can fill it up in the communication salons, bank offices and terminals for free. Here we will not talk about additional services, such as SMS-informing or insurance. However, simple mathematics speaks for itself: having spent using a card for a month, for example, 20,000 rubles, you get only 200 on your cellular account. Of course, a trifle, but rather pleasant than the other way around. So let's hope that "MTS Money" is a card that still finds its holder.

Credit cards

It will be interesting to talk about the credit cards that MTS-Bank offers to its customers. Speaking reasonably, we can say that the Gold credit card is as dubious an acquisition as a debit one. Annual service is no less than 1,500 rubles, which is three times more expensive than servicing a classic card, and this despite the fact that the choice of tariffs for both is the same. In addition, there is no information except in the tariff table about this card. What to do with it in this case and what is its advantage over the ordinary? This, apparently, will remain a mystery, so we did not talk about this map above and will not talk further, but turn to those who have already mentioned.

As we said earlier, the MTS Money card is a card with two service tariffs - Plus and Extra. The main difference is that the "Plus" tariff does not stipulate a grace period for crediting - one of the most important bonuses of any high-grade credit card, which allows free use of the loan within a certain period, in our case, 50 days. In the tariff "Extra" there is such an advantage.

Therefore, if you make a purchase on a MTS-Bank card with a "Plus" tariff, you immediately begin to charge interest on the loan, which is very expensive. Therefore, choose a card with a grace period, that is, the "Extra" tariff. It is he who will be offered with perseverance by sellers, but not because they care about the benefits of their product to the customer, but because it is profitable first of all to them.

Procedure for receiving and closing a card

Many are interested in the question of how to get a "MTS Money" card. Believe that there is nothing complicated in this, and you will try to impose it in all possible ways, if you are from 18 to 60 years old and you have a passport with you.

It is necessary to receive the unnamed, and then pay for the re-release and get the chip.
