How to top up your MegaFon account from a bank card? How to top up your Megafon account from a bank card One-time top up of your Megafon account.

Why pay more than you can save and pay for Megafon without commission? Green operator is one of the largest operators in Russia and therefore there are many ways available to subscribers to top up their balance. However, not all of them are free; in many, the commission reaches 2-3% or more. This is of course not much, but why not save money if possible.

The operator’s official website allows you to top up in several ways, but only a few of them are free. This is due to the fact that the payment system itself sets the amount of the commission, but on the site it is zero by default.

In this article we will look at all the services, using which you do not need to pay a commission. We will also create a step-by-step guide to using them.

Which services do not charge a commission for replenishment?

There are two main methods to transfer funds to your account without loss.

First is to use a bank card. However, not all types of accounts are included in this list, for example, the official Megafon website offers a choice of Visa, MasterCard and MIR, but in fact this list is a little wider. You can verify that there is no commission on your card on the website or hotline of your bank. But this applies specifically to replenishment through the banking interface, and through the operator’s website - there is no commission in any case.

Second the method involves replenishment through services such as Qiwi or Yandex Money. Both financial platforms charge a commission for replenishing Megafon through their interface. However, as with using a card, if you do this through the operator’s website there will be no commission. Let's look at each method in more detail.

Top up using a bank card

Nowadays, everyone probably has a bank card and it is used in all financial spheres. With its help, you can pay for almost all goods and services, and mobile communications, of course, is also one of them.

Replenishment in this way can be done using:

  • Mobile banking. All banks have their own applications, the largest ones for sure. And the ability to replenish your balance there is provided by a convenient interface.
  • Online banking. This is the official website of the bank, where you can link your card and use a wide range of services.
  • Via the official website of the operator. Using your personal account or through the “Payment” section.

This method is perhaps the most convenient, since to carry out the operation you do not need to spend money on some other resource.

How to top up your account using a bank card on the Megafon website

This method makes it possible to deposit funds into an account without commission, regardless of the bank used.

To do this you need:

  1. On the main page of the site we find the “Payment” tab.
  2. Click on the “Top up balance” item.
  3. A form will open with a choice of payment type and lines for details, select “Bank card”.
  4. Fill out the fields, enter your mobile number and amount (the minimum amount is 100 rubles). Then click “Continue”.
  5. The next step is to fill in the bank details (number, expiration date, CVV-2. Then select “Pay”.
  6. In some cases, confirmation may be required; a message with a special code will be sent to your phone.

For an amount less than the minimum, replenishment is possible only directly through the bank’s website or mobile application, but in this case a commission may be charged.

Replenishment via QIWI and Yandex Money

Both services are among the most popular and used in the Russian Federation. Every second subscriber has his own wallet there. Replenishment through WebMoney through the operator’s website is also available, but there is a commission of 0.8%. But you can do this through Qiwi and Yandex for free.

Instructions

The replenishment procedure through both services is the same and consists of the following steps:

  1. We find on the website the same section called “Top up your account”.
  2. Select a payment system from those provided and put a tick in front of it.
  3. Next, enter your mobile phone number and the desired top-up amount. Then click “Continue”.
  4. After this, the interface of your payment system will open, where you will need to confirm the operation.

If you need to deposit into your account an amount less than the limit on the operator’s website, that is, less than 100 rubles, then you need to carry out the operation directly from the payment system website, but in this case there will be a commission.

“Autopayment” function

Megafon provides its users with the opportunity to activate automatic balance replenishment. This system works according to the following scheme:

The subscriber sets a certain threshold, upon reaching which the balance will be replenished, as well as the required amount;

Then, when the amount in the account is equal to the minimum, the system will send a replenishment request to the bank;
The bank debits the funds from the specified card and transfers them to the account;

After this, the balance will be replenished.

This method also implies the absence of any commission; activation of the service is free. The operator guarantees the security of the user's banking data, since the information is not stored in clear form, but is transmitted encrypted through closed channels.

You can enable this option in several ways, for example, on the website or via voice command. The parameters of the minimum threshold and replenishment amount can be changed at any time using your personal account.

Let's sum it up

Megafon subscribers can top up their balance without commission in several ways, but mainly through the operator’s website. To do this, you need to have a bank card or an online wallet on services such as Qiwi or Yandex Money.

In addition, you can activate the auto-payment service, the essence of which is to automatically restore funds to the balance when a minimum threshold is reached. All aspects of the option can be customized. However, this method is only available for a bank card; this cannot be done through payment systems.

The replenishment process itself will not take much time, but it is better to keep your phone at hand at this moment, as you may need to confirm the operation via SMS.

To top up your MegaFon account, there are several proven methods: the only difference is the time spent and the availability of additional services connected.

A mobile phone is a necessary attribute of modern life, and it is important to always have funds in your account. Fortunately, there are now several ways to deposit money on Megafon from a bank card without commission, each of which is good in its own way.

Payment on the official website

Like other cellular operators, Megafon has its own official website with a user-friendly interface. Payment without commission can be made here anonymously (without authorization on the resource) or using the user’s personal account.

Payment for Megafon without authorization

To perform the operation anonymously, just go to the operator’s official website and select the “Top up account” option on the main page.

In the form that opens, you need to check the box next to the “Bank card” option, then enter your phone number where you want to deposit funds. After specifying the replenishment amount, click on the “Continue” button.

The minimum amount for replenishing the balance with this payment option without commission is 100 rubles, the maximum is 15,000 rubles.


The next step is to fill out a special form with bank card details: number, expiration date, owner details and CVV/CVC. After checking the correctness of the input, click the “Pay” button.


To complete the transaction, you will have to wait for the one-time password that will be sent to the number specified in the form. Then enter the resulting combination of numbers in the code field and send it. If you enter the password correctly, payment for Megafon by card without commission will be successful, which will be notified by the next SMS from the operator about replenishing your account.


Payment without commission in your personal account

The entrance to the Megafon client’s personal account is located in the upper right corner of the official website of the mobile operator.


To authorize, you need to enter your SIM card number and password. If the password is forgotten or has never been required, then you need to send a request *105*00# from the device keyboard, then pressing the call button. The secret combination of numbers will be sent via SMS. After entering the correct password in the appropriate field of the form, select the “Login” command.


  • select the “Top up account” option;
  • enter an amount from 100 to 15,000 rubles;
  • click the “Top up” button.

This operation is performed after confirming the operation with a secret code sent by SMS.

If a client wants to top up the balance of his family or friends, then in his personal account he needs to select the “Top up another subscriber’s account” option. All described operations are performed without commission. If there are not enough funds on your bank card to transfer to your account, you can use the “Promised Payment” service by clicking on the appropriate button.

Top up your Megafon balance using online banking

A convenient option to pay for Megafon from a bank card without commission - modern Internet banking. Account replenishment schemes through online accounts are quite simple and universal. For example, if the card is issued by Sberbank and the phone number is linked to it, then it is easy to use the following algorithm:



After confirming that the form has been filled out correctly, the “Mobile Communications” page will open, where the payment details will be indicated and the payment status will be “Completed”. If necessary, you can print a receipt using the “Print receipt” link.


To top up the balance of another phone, the number of which is not linked to the Sbercard, you will need to confirm the operation by entering a secret combination of numbers - a password, which will be received with an SMS message. Please note that the payment amount cannot be less than 1 ruble.

Payment for cellular communications through Mobile Banking

Large financial institutions, such as Sberbank, provide their clients with a very convenient service - Mobile Banking. In order to use this service, you just need to connect it in the terminal or in your online account. After this, you can pay for Megafon from a card without a commission, having only a cell phone at hand (not necessarily with an Internet connection).

To top up the balance of a phone connected to Mobile Banking, you just need to send an SMS to number 900 (if using a Sberbank card) indicating the amount to be transferred. In response, you will receive a message about the replenishment. The maximum threshold for such transfers should not exceed 3,000 rubles per day.


To pay from a Sberbank card for any other phone to number 900, you need to send a message with the text “Tel 9ХХ1234567 150”, where “9ХХ1234567” is the subscriber number, and “150” is the transaction amount (no more than 1500 rubles per day).

Sberbank has introduced a limit on the number of commission-free payment transactions - up to 10 transactions per 24 hours.

Megafon payment via terminals

All of the above methods are very convenient because the balance is replenished instantly, online. But they have a common significant drawback - they must have high-quality access to the Internet or an SMS banking service connected in advance. For those who do not have such an opportunity (or feel insecure using modern computer technologies), there is an optimal way to transfer funds to Megafon’s account using an ATM or terminal of the bank that issued the card.


The scheme for performing this operation is intuitive:

  1. Insert the card into the ATM and enter the PIN code.
  2. Select “Cash Payments” from the menu on the screen.
  3. Click the “Pay for mobile communications without commission” button.
  4. Next, just follow the standard instructions on the screen: enter the phone number, indicate the transfer amount (at least 100 rubles), check and, if the details are filled out correctly, select “Pay”. Otherwise – “Refuse”.

Do not rush to throw away the receipt confirming the transaction. You will need it if there are problems with crediting the payment to Megafon’s balance.

If the terminal is located in the bank building, then you can always resort to the help of a special employee of the financial institution. He is obliged to help a client who is making a fee-free payment from a bank card for the first time and does not know how to do it correctly.

Auto payment service

If you have to top up your Megafon balance weekly or monthly with the same amounts, then it makes sense to activate the “Autopayment” service. This service can be easily activated in the online account of the client of the bank that issued the card from which transfers are made.

Main advantages of auto payment:

  • connecting to the service is completely free;
  • payment is made without commission;
  • replenishment of the account is carried out within the specified time frame or with the minimum amount of funds on the balance that the client specified when connecting, so there will always be money on Megafon’s balance;
  • Each payment without commission is accompanied by informing the client via SMS, i.e. easy to control expenses;
  • Funds are credited instantly.

Naturally, autopayment will be made only if there are funds on the card to which it is connected.

Yandex money

If for some reason you are not comfortable paying through your bank’s online banking or operator’s services, you can deposit money to Megafon without commission through Yandex.Money.

Procedure:

  1. On the main page of the service, select the “Payment for services” section.
  2. Select the payment category “Mobile phone”.
  3. In the form that appears, enter your phone number and payment amount, then click “next.”
  4. Enter the card details - the holder's first and last name, number, expiration date and CVV security code, which is indicated on the back of the plastic on the paper signature strip.
  5. Click “confirm” and on the next page enter the confirmation code that will be sent to the mobile number linked to the card.

The service may offer to remember the card - in other words, link it to an account in the Yandex.Money system. Then, the next time you top up your Megafon mobile phone account and make other payments for goods and services, you won’t have to re-enter all your plastic data. For the binding operation, the bank can write off another 10 rubles in excess of the payment amount, but this money will soon be returned to the card.


The transaction is subject to all limits and other restrictions that exist on the payer’s bank card. The Yandex.Money service itself does not limit the size and number of top-ups to a mobile phone account. As long as the total volume of payments for a calendar month from this card to the Megafon operator is no more than 5 thousand rubles, there is no commission. If you exceed this threshold, you will be charged 2% on each top-up.
