How to use a Sberbank credit card with a grace period. Sberbank credit card blocking

The situation is as follows: being a payroll client of Sberbank, I simultaneously pay for a loan in the same bank and use a bank credit card. I pay off my obligations by monthly transfer of monthly payments from a debit salary card to the account from which the loan is repaid, as well as to a credit card. I carry out operations to repay credit obligations using the application " Mobile bank".

At the end of September 2016, while in business trip outside his region, received a message on his phone from number 900 with a notice about the need to pay off overdue debt in the amount of 0.45 rubles. On the same day, I received another SMS stating that the debt must be paid off urgently, since such a significant debt had already been transferred to the collection service.

After checking the status of your accounts through the mobile bank and making sure that monthly payment the loan was debited from the account, and the monthly payment arrived on the credit card on time, did not attach any importance to the received messages, considering this a technical error on the part of the bank. To my surprise, the next day, when trying to pay with a credit card at retail outlets, I was refused operations.

Upon returning to his city, he immediately turned to the bank branch, where he received a credit card, in order to sort out the situation. The bank employee confirmed that I currently have no delays on loans, and found the reason for the SMS - in April 2016, when transferring money in a mobile bank to the account from which the loan is repaid, I forgot about the Sberbank rule about minimum amount on the account of 10 rubles, in connection with which the loan amount was not debited from the account in full, the debt naturally amounted to the very ill-fated 45 kopecks.

Until September 2016, the bank did not notify me of such a treacherous failure to fulfill my obligations, I did not know about the debt, since I covered this debt with the next payment. When I asked if this circumstance was the reason for blocking debit transactions on a credit card, the bank employee did not answer, informing me that after 10 days I would be able to write an application for unblocking debit transactions on a credit card.

In order to further understand the situation, a few days later I called the Sberbank hotline, where I described the situation in detail and received an answer that the reason for blocking debit transactions was precisely that debt of 45 kopecks, and I could unblock the transactions at the Sberbank office, where I received the card with presenting a card and passport. On the same day, I again went to the same branch of the bank and recounted in detail the conversation with the Bank's hotline. I was given a form with an application for unblocking debit transactions.

However, after I handed this application to the bank employee, after some time, after consulting with colleagues, she told me that I needed to submit such an application to Main office Sberbank in Cheboksary with the presentation of a certificate in the form 2-NDFL and a certificate from the place of work. To my arguments about the instructions I received during the conversation on the hotline, that I am a payroll client of the bank and my income is transparent to Sberbank, and that obtaining these certificates would take me a lot of time, the bank employee only shrugged her shoulders and said that in this case, the expense transactions will not be unblocked for me. Nevertheless, the unblocking application signed by me remained in the bank.

Since then, more than two weeks have passed, but no decision has been made by the bank to consider the application (not sure if it was considered at all), I am not notified. I intend in the near future, having paid off all credit obligations to the bank, to terminate all relationships, since a bank that treats a payroll client like this, who has repaid 5 loans in Sberbank without a single delay, due to a debt of 45 kopecks, cannot be considered customer-oriented.

P.s. Apparently, as a sarcasm, Sberbank sent me an SMS the next day, according to which, as a conscientious and regular customer of the bank, I was offered a loan of 900 tr on unique conditions.

Under what conditions is it impossible to write off

The vast majority of bank customers opt for credit plastic with a set limit Money. A credit card comes to the rescue when you don’t have enough money to buy what you need. But sometimes, even a credit card refuses to give money. And this can happen for several reasons.

Card blocked

The credit card will not issue funds if it is blocked. And the culprit of this situation can be both the owner of the plastic and the bank itself. In particular:

  • the client himself blocks the cards when it is lost, and then, having found it among his things, tries to withdraw money;
  • in the case when doubtful monetary transactions, which raise questions among Sberbank security personnel, it may be frozen.

If a credit card has been blocked, it can be returned to working condition only after visiting Sberbank and filling out an appropriate application.

  • non-payment of alimony;
  • large debt to housing and communal services;
  • too many fines have accumulated;
  • large interest on bank loans.

How to use a Sberbank credit card is easy to understand by examining the contract for opening a credit card. Sberbank's standard agreement includes a detailed description of interest accrual, card options, commissions, and grace period conditions.

At its core, a credit card in use is not much different from a regular debit card. When making transactions, the client, just like with a regular card, authorizes using a PIN code that is issued to the card, the card can be managed using a mobile bank or Sberbank online, connect SMS informing. 10 days before the end of the monthly repayment period on a credit card, the client receives an SMS notification with the amount that must be paid before a certain date.

That is, credit cards from Sberbank are independent and are not tied to other SB cards, but they can be used together with debit cards. and when you connect Sberbank-Online in your account, you will see transactions on all cards, including credit cards. Using a credit card, you can make online payments to any stores, pay public utilities, Internet and cellular communications, the only restriction on the grace period is the transfer to the accounts of individuals.

A credit card is issued in order to obtain a loan and use the bank's funds at a certain percentage.

Difference from usual consumer credit consists in:

  • The credit card has a grace period for the use of funds;
  • Withdrawing cash from a credit card is subject to a special bank commission;
  • The amount of such a loan is a maximum of 100,000 rubles;
  • The emergence of a settlement system of interest on a loan only in the event that the amount taken for use for the grace period is not covered;
  • You need to return only the amount that the client used during the grace period.

The SB credit card was created for purchases, so customers can pay in stores using the card without interest and commissions, but, here, withdrawing cash from such a card entails additional expenses, namely taking a commission of 3% of the amount (minimum 390 rubles). Such a commission is taken automatically and debited from credit card funds.

In addition, do not forget that SB credit cards have a peculiarity, since they are designed for non-cash purchases, and cash withdrawal is an additional function, so withdrawal is not included in the grace period. As soon as the consumer has used the function of withdrawing cash by credit card, the grace period has expired and interest begins to accrue to the client.

A credit card becomes a full-fledged loan only in some cases, that is, if you use the card and strictly follow the rules for the grace period, then no interest will be charged.

Cases when interest will be charged on a SB credit card:

  • Cash withdrawal;
  • Late repayment of the grace period;
  • Transfer of funds to accounts of individuals.

In order to use the Sberbank credit card on the most favorable terms, it is not recommended to withdraw cash from it at all, but to use it only for settlement in the store. In this case, the use of the card will be beneficial and enjoyable!

All these cases from the moment of activation of the service will lead to the accrual of interest on the amount used on the loan. The credit rate for most SB credit cards is 24%, this does not apply to special preferential credit cards and VIP tariffs. After the expiration of the grace period, the client is given a period to repay the loan, including interest on the amount used. If the client does not pay the used amount within this period, then the accrual commission is already 38% or more, and the client is charged penalties for late payments, and such situations may adversely affect credit history client.

Grace period

The grace period is 50 days during which the client can repay the amount that was spent from the card. This period consists of two main dates that are worth remembering, the use of the amount for 30 days and 20 days for which the entire amount must be repaid. Payments are made monthly at the same time. Each month, you must make a payment for the previous grace period and the amount spent.

In the first month of using a credit card, it is recommended to clarify the payment terms for the grace period with specialists in order to repay the payment on time without interest!

You can activate the card, like any SB debit card, using a simple operation - requesting a balance at an ATM or during the first payment in a store. If you activated the card by viewing the balance, and used the money for the first time only after some time, this does not mean that the preferential and reporting period will begin only from the moment of settlement, no, the grace and reporting period begins from the moment the card is activated and the contract is concluded. The amount of redemption, respectively, will be calculated only for the one that was spent within a 30-day period.

Paying off credit card debt

To pay off credit card debt, it is enough to simply deposit cash through an ATM or cash desk of any SB branch. In addition, crediting can be carried out using a transfer from a SB debit card to a credit card through Sberbank-Online or a mobile bank.

When paying off a debt, you should not make a payment on the last reporting day, since the credit card account is not credited as quickly as work on SB accounts usually takes place. Do not forget that the bank reserves the right to credit funds for transfers to carry out the operation from 1 to 3 days. It is from these terms that it is necessary to proceed!

When withdrawing the entire amount or making a purchase for the entire amount and inability to repay the debt during the grace period. The bank will calculate payments at a rate of 24% per annum and inform the client about the mandatory minimum payment which must be submitted on time. A convenient SMS informing service informs customers about the need to make a mandatory payment. Thus, the client can take care of the possibility of repaying the loan in advance and using the grace period further.
