What bank cards can be used in Belarus. How and where to withdraw money from a foreign card in Belarus? How to top up bank cards
Most tourists ask the question: is there Sberbank in Belarus? There is no office of Sberbank of Russia in the country, but there is BPS-Sberbank - this is a subsidiary organization that is considered foreign for Russian citizens. There are 40 branches of such organizations throughout the country, so there will be no problems with the search.
You can only withdraw Belarusian money, euros and dollars from an ATM. At the bank office you can withdraw banknotes of any currency. To receive a larger amount, you will need to write an application and wait for approval from bank employees. If the application is approved, you will be called back and informed of the time when it will be possible to receive the requested amount.
A Sberbank card in Belarus will operate in the same way as in any other country if it is an international format card. Moreover, you can receive money from the card under the same conditions as in Russia. You can withdraw money without interest at any branch. You can also pay using the card in stores where there is cashless payment.
How to transfer money to Belarus through Sberbank
To make a money transfer through Sberbank, you need to use the “Blitz” service. But there is one condition - only Sberbank clients can transfer.
“Blitz” is a system that allows you to transfer finances to any regions from the Russian Federation. You can also send money to regions located near our country, including Belarus. The translation is carried out very quickly. In about an hour. A citizen of Belarus has the opportunity to withdraw money from any branch.
There is also a drawback to this operation - charging a commission of 1.75% of the transfer amount. But the commission cannot be less than 150 rubles and more than 3,000 rubles. In one transaction you can make a transfer in an amount of no more than 500,000 rubles.
At the request of the client, the bank allows the use of an additional service - informing the recipient about the acceptance of the transfer. The cost of the service is 10 rubles. In the event that the funds are not claimed by the recipient, the sender has the right to return the money back. But in this case, he will incur some expenses - a commission of 150 rubles.
Sberbank clients are also given the opportunity to make a non-cash transfer from Russia to Belarus. To do this, you need to come to any Sberbank office with a passport. The bank will need to provide the details where the transfer will be made and deposit the funds. The maximum transfer period is two days.
Required documents:
- passport or any ID card that has a photograph on it;
- recipient details: full name, account number and branch number where the recipient will withdraw the transferred amount.
The recipient's details must be accurate. If mistakes are made, the translation may simply be refused. Also, do not forget to check the availability of a Sberbank branch so that the recipient does not have to look for another one. This can also be done at your city office.
If the money is not transferred within the allotted time, then you can also find out the status of the transfer only at the branch. The service is paid. To check, you must make a request for the return of the transferred funds. This way you can find out whether the money was received or not.
“Blitz” is the fastest, easiest and most reliable way to transfer funds from the Russian Federation to Belarus.
Thus, transferring money to Belarus through Sberbank is carried out in a fairly simple way. The only condition is to be a bank client. Unfortunately, it will not be possible to transfer funds for free in any case. If you come across such an ad, it is most likely the work of scammers.

Is there Sberbank in Belarus?
BPS-Sberbank has been opened in Belarus, but there is no Russian branch of Sberbank in this country. BPS-Sberbank is a subsidiary; for Russian citizens it is considered foreign.
This acquisition was a rather serious step towards expanding foreign presence in the CIS countries. The focus of this project is to expand the fortunes of the subsidiary and attract auxiliary financing. Also, the prospects of the Belarusian Sberbank are aimed at involving in the corporate lending market. The implementation of these plans will help to significantly strengthen the location of JSC BPS-Sberbank, increase the scale of the credit economy of Belarus to ensure dynamics in the development of banking, and therefore in the emergence of the latest technologies and products introduced into the territory of the republic.
There are 40 branches of the local BPS-Sberbank open on the territory of Belarus, so there will not be any special problems finding them.
Today, the Belarusian Sberbank is considered a fairly relevant financial enterprise that offers its clients a wide variety of services. This service is aimed at providing electronic customer service, providing loans to the population and opening deposits, and financing investments and trade.
93.27% of the shares of BSP-Sberbank were acquired by the Russian Sberbank, therefore the domestic bank is considered to be the founder of the Belarusian one.
At the BSP-Sberbank ATM you can only withdraw local currency (Belarusian rubles), euros and American dollars, but the exchange rate cannot be called favorable. In the branch of the subsidiary itself, it is possible to withdraw money in any currency. To withdraw a large amount, you must leave an application, after which the bank employees call the individual and inform you of the date when you can withdraw the money.
Sberbank Visa and Master Card cards for Russian citizens are valid on the territory of Belarus (as well as in other countries where there are subsidiaries of the Russian bank). However, it is not possible to use the Social Card of the Russian Federation on the territory of Belarus, since its activities are limited to the territory of Russia. You can withdraw cash on the territory of Belarus using Maestro and Visa Electron cards, the commission is 0.75% of the withdrawn amount at the subsidiary JSC BPS-Bank. If a person has a card of the Class category or higher, then cash can be withdrawn from any ATM. When withdrawing money from the subsidiary bank itself, no commission is charged; to cash out from other banks, you must pay a commission amounting to 1% of the requested amount, but not less than 100 rubles.

Currency of Belarus
The national currency of Belarus is the Belarusian ruble (BYN).
The current exchange rate of the Belarusian ruble to the Russian ruble changes daily. In July 2017, 1 Belarusian ruble was equal to approximately 30.5 Russian rubles.
According to the old exchange rate, 33 Russian rubles = 10,000 Belarusian rubles (“bunnies”, as tourists call them). Thanks to the existence of the 100,000 banknote, our compatriots joke that everyone in Belarus is millionaires. However, in 2016, redenomination began in the country - new banknotes “lost” 4 zeros at once.
Some tourists claim that paying with Russian rubles, euros or dollars in Belarus is not a problem, but only Belarusian rubles are officially accepted. We recommend not to take risks and buy national currency immediately upon arrival.

The Republic of Belarus, despite the fact that it is a union state with Russia, operates according to its own banking legislation. In order to withdraw money from your Sberbank card in Belarus, you need to know a number of conditions for issuing cash and the rules of operation of payment systems.
The necessary conditions
The national currency in the Republic of Belarus is the Belarusian ruble. This is the only official means of payment in the country. You won’t be able to pay in Russian cash in stores, at gas stations or in hotels.
For payments, it is important to use plastic cards of the international payment systems VISA and MasterCard; conversion into local currency occurs automatically.
Important! Sberbank of Russia cards issued under the MIR national payment program and Maestro social cards do not work in Belarus.
Cards of the UnionPay and AmericanExpress systems are serviced by individual Belarusian banks, so the infrastructure for their use is poorly developed, but if you wish, you can cash out money or pay using UnionPay and AmericanExpress plastic.
Methods for withdrawing money from a Sberbank card in Belarus
The number of terminals for cashless payments in retail outlets in Belarus is constantly growing, but not every store has the opportunity to pay for goods using plastic. Therefore, during a visit to the territory of a neighboring state, it is better to have some funds in cash.
ATMs in the country dispense mainly local currency, less often US dollars and euros. It is not possible to receive Russian rubles from self-service devices. In fact, Russian money is not needed in Belarus.
You can receive funds from a Sberbank card at ATMs and offices of credit institutions.
The menu in self-service devices is designed in Russian and does not differ from Russian terminals. The capabilities of ATMs in Belarus when working with cards of Russian banks are limited to withdrawing cash, requesting a balance and transferring money to the phone number of one of the local operators. If the terminal accepts cash, then the plastic card can be topped up; Belarusian rubles are available for depositing funds onto the card. You cannot deposit Russian rubles into your account through a Belarusian ATM.
At the bank's office, cash withdrawal operations are carried out using a Russian passport. If you lose your card, you can get money through the “Emergency cash withdrawal if your card is lost abroad” service offered by Sberbank of Russia.
Will it be possible to withdraw funds without commission?
If in the terms of service with a bank card there is no commission for issuing funds at any ATM in the world, then you can receive money in the Republic of Belarus for free at every self-service device.
Holders of Sberbank of Russia card products will have to withdraw money from ATMs of Belarusian banks with additional costs. According to the terms of issuing Sberbank debit cards, the commission for cash withdrawal from ATMs of other credit institutions is subject to a commission of 1% of the amount, the minimum is 100 rubles (3 US dollars or euros) for VISA Classic and MasterCard Standard products.
For instant issuance cards Visa Classic Momentum and MasterCard Momentum, the fee for withdrawing funds from devices of other credit institutions is 1%, the minimum is 150 rubles (5 dollars or euros).
The credit institution does not charge a commission for issuing funds through ATMs that belong to subsidiaries of Sberbank.
In Belarus, you can withdraw money from a Sberbank of Russia card without additional costs only at BPS-Sberbank, which is a subsidiary financial structure of the largest Russian bank.
Free withdrawal of money applies to classic, gold and platinum card products; for instant cards, there is a fee for withdrawing cash from ATMs of subsidiaries.
In the offices of Belarusian credit organizations, both the Russian bank and the local financial company will take a commission for withdrawing cash from the card. It makes sense for Sberbank clients to contact BPS-Sberbank, because for some types of cards there is no commission for issuing money at the cash desk of a subsidiary; for other card products it will be below average.
Features of withdrawing funds from BPS-Sberbank ATMs
BPS-Sberbank self-service devices accept plastic payment systems VISA, MasterCard, American Express. Funds can be withdrawn in Belarusian, American and European currencies.
Holders of Sberbank bank cards can receive money without paying a commission: VISA Classic, VISA Gold, MasterCard Standard, MasterCard Gold. For holders of VISA Momentum and MasterCard Momentum cards, a commission of 0.75% of the amount is provided at BPS-Sberbank ATMs.
Holders of cards issued by subsidiary banks of Sberbank of Russia in Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Croatia, Hungary, Slovakia, the Czech Republic and other countries can take advantage of free receipt of money through an ATM.
The menu of BPS-Sberbank self-service devices is similar to similar Russian systems of the parent credit institution. When you first contact, you must select the interface language, then the procedure is the same as for Russian terminals.
Withdrawal of Russian rubles at the cash desk of BPS-Sberbank
You should resort to receiving cash through the cash desk of a financial company when you need to exchange a large amount of money. Belarusian banks operate on the principle of “pre-application for money”, so before visiting the institution, it is better to inform bank employees about your intentions to receive a large amount of cash.
The Belarusian BPS-Sberbank has more than 40 offices throughout the country, which is quite a lot for Belarus. Sberbank of Russia plastic is accepted by all credit institutions in the country (except for MIR cards), but to save on commission fees, it is better to look for a branch of BPS-Sberbank.
When servicing at the office of a credit company, the commission charged by the bank that issued the card is added to the commission of the organization issuing the money. Belarusian banks additionally charge from 1 to 3% of the amount when issuing funds from foreign plastic cards through the cash desk.
BPS-Sberbank is loyal to the owners of banking products of Sberbank of Russia. If you need to receive money from a Russian card, a Belarusian bank will charge 1% of the amount, plus a commission from the Russian side, which depends on the type of card:
- Free for banking products VISA Classic, Gold, Platinum, MasterCard Standard, Gold, Platinum.
- 0.75% of the amount for instant cards VISA Momentum, MasterCard Momentum.
When contacting other credit institutions, when issuing cash through a cash desk, Sberbank will charge the owner of the plastic card 1% of the amount, minimum 150 rubles, or 5 dollars, or 5 euros, plus the commission of the bank issuing the funds.
Limits and restrictions
On Belarusian territory there are no additional restrictions on card operation and cash withdrawals. All transaction limits are set by the bank that issued the card. At Sberbank, restrictions depend on the status of the card.
For classic banking products, there is a daily withdrawal limit of 150,000 Russian rubles or the equivalent in foreign currency. You can receive no more than 1,500,000 RUR, or 50,000 USD, or 37,500 EUR per month.
There are no restrictions on payment transactions using a bank card. Bank employees can call the owner of the plastic card and ask for additional confirmation of a purchase made abroad.
Where to see the conversion rate when withdrawing funds
The exchange of the currency in which the card is opened into Belarusian rubles, dollars or euros occurs at the rate that is specially established by Sberbank of Russia for card transactions. You can find out the latest data on the credit institution’s website, in the Sberbank Online mobile application, or by calling the customer support service.
When calculating the exchange rate, it is necessary to take into account the fact that the rate indicated to customers will not be applied when processing the transaction, because the actual conversion occurs when the money is debited from the account, not from the card, 3-5 business days after the transaction. Accordingly, the currency exchange rate that will be used at the time of debiting money from the account is used.
Visa payment system cards charge an additional 0.5 to 2% for currency exchange, the rate depends on the status of the card. In this case, the currency changes twice, for example, in order to withdraw Belarusian rubles from a card opened in Russian rubles, the payment system will first convert Russian money into dollars, then – dollars into Belarusian rubles. For all actions, a commission will be calculated, which will affect the conversion rate.
To travel around the Republic of Belarus, the most effective solution would be to open a MasterCard product with an account in US dollars at Sberbank and use ATMs and terminals of BPS-Sberbank throughout the country.
January 8, 2020 222177From time to time we receive questions from foreigners and Belarusians - card holders of foreign banks - about which ATMs they could use to withdraw money most profitably (in other words, with a minimum commission) in our country?
Let us remind you that you can pay for goods and services non-cash using a non-resident bank card, in this case you do not have to worry about additional fees.
If you still need to withdraw cash, you can do this either at an ATM or at a bank cash desk.
Not so long ago, owners of cards from foreign banks could not be afraid of the commission for withdrawals from Belarusian ATMs; not a single bank charged it, but at the moment 8 financial institutions charge such a commission, and their number is only increasing.
However, we note that in most cases a commission is charged for withdrawing foreign currency, and Belarusian rubles can be received without a commission.
| Bank | Belorussian rubles | Foreign currency |
| no commission | 1,9% | |
| no commission | 1,9% | |
| no commission | 2,0% | |
| no commission | 2,0% | |
| no commission | 2,0% | |
| no commission | 2,0% | |
| 3% | ||
| 3% | ||
Don’t forget about the commission of the bank that issued your card. Therefore, before traveling to Belarus (or already in our country), find out the size of this commission from the issuing bank.
In most cases, there will still be a commission!
We've sorted out withdrawals from ATMs. Now let's see how much it will cost to withdraw cash from a foreign card at a bank branch. The options are rated by the size of the commission for withdrawing Belarusian rubles.
| Bank | Belarus rubles | Foreign currency |
| 1% | ||
| 1% | ||
| 1% | ||
| 1% | ||
| 2% | ||
| 2% | ||
| 2% | ||
| 2% | ||
| 2% from January 10 - 2.5% (min 2 BYN) |
||
| 2% | ||
| 2% | ||
| 2,50% | ||
| 2,50% | ||
| 2,50% | 3% | |
| 1% - on Sberbank cards | 2% - on Sberbank cards | |
| 2.5% - on cards of other foreign banks | ||
| 2,50% | ||
| 2,50% | ||
| 2,50% | ||
| 3% | ||
| 3% no commission on Gazprombank cards |
||
| 3% | ||
| 4,50% | 1% | |
As you can see, in this case the commission cannot be avoided, and no one has canceled the issuing bank’s remuneration. So this option is more expensive than withdrawing from an ATM. Although it is worth noting that this option also has advantages.
An ATM usually has limits on withdrawals per transaction, but at a bank teller you can withdraw a much larger amount at a time. In addition, cash desks work with a wider list of currencies than ATMs - this can be useful if, for example, you want to withdraw Russian rubles.
As a rule, Belarusian banks charge the same commission regardless of the currency issued, but there are exceptions. For example, in Belarusbank it is more profitable to withdraw funds in Belarusian rubles, and in MTBank- currency.
And one more nuance, if you are a card holder of the Russian Gazprombank, then you better contact the branch Belgazprombank, they won’t charge you a commission for withdrawing cash. And if the card was issued by the Russian PJSC Sberbank, go to BPS-Sberbank. There will be a commission, but it is lower than for cards issued by other foreign banks.
An important point that cannot be ignored is the payment system of your card. As a rule, Belarusian banks accept cards of two payment systems: VISA and Mastercard.
However, some banks work with only one of these systems; in others, this list, on the contrary, is longer.
| Bank | Payment system | |
| withdrawal from a bank cash desk | ATM withdrawal | |
| Visa, Mastercard | ||
| Visa, Mastercard | ||
| Visa, Mastercard, World | ||
| Visa, Mastercard | ||
| Visa, Mastercard | ||

Belarus is one of many countries in the world where you can use bank cards of 2 payment systems:
- Visa;

Buying currency
Upon arrival in the Republic of Belarus, 2 options are relevant:
- purchase local currency;
- use an international map of the Russian Federation.
The first option is more profitable if you use not bank offers, but change rubles at exchange offices. The exchange rate of one ruble for another is more promising.
Payment by card and cash
Sberbank of the Russian Federation seems to be the largest and most reliable financial organization operating in our country. However, it also has many branches and subsidiaries located in the CIS countries. A striking example is Sberbank in Belarus. The official website of the organization, located at bps-sberbank.by, allows you to select the nearest branch and get acquainted with the bank’s products.
Sberbank in Belarus
When figuring out whether there is a Sberbank in Belarus, it is advisable to note that on the territory of this state there is a subsidiary organization of the same name, BPS-Sberbank, which serves the local population. It should be noted that despite the same name, for Russian citizens who are clients of Sberbank, such a financial institution will be considered foreign.
Official website of BPS-Sberbank
One of the features of BPS-Sberbank is the impressive number of branches - over 40, which allows you to select the nearest service office. If a tourist plans to withdraw funds from his account, he will need to take into account that 3 main currencies are available in the terminals - euros, dollars and the Belarusian national currency.
The organization appeared as a result of the acquisition in 2009 by the Russian Sberbank of the local BPS-Bank, which occupied a leading position in Belarus. This was a continuation of the policy of Sberbank PJSC, within the framework of which the organization seeks to expand its presence not only in the regions of the Russian Federation, but also in neighboring countries.
If a consumer requires service, it will be extremely useful for him to know the addresses of the organization’s branches in Belarus. The company's headquarters is located in Minsk, on the boulevard named after. Mulyavina, 6. You can find out where Sberbank branches are located in Minsk and other regions of Belarus using the corresponding page on the company’s website https://www.bps-sberbank.by/online/ru.personal.branches.
Find the nearest branch on the bank's website
This organization, based on Belpromstroybank, boasts a wide range of products. It specializes in servicing private and corporate clients, carrying out cash settlement operations, as well as providing deposit and loan programs. Detailed information about the available products can be found on the official website in the corresponding section.
How to withdraw Russian rubles
As you know, most accounts of clients of Sberbank of the Russian Federation are opened in the national currency - Russian rubles. If there is a need to withdraw Russian rubles or other non-standard currency, the user will need to perform a certain algorithm of actions:
- Find the nearest bank branch.
- Contact an employee and express your desire to withdraw a certain type of currency.
- Submit an application and wait for it to be approved (when requesting large amounts).
- On the appointed day, visit the branch and receive funds.
Visiting a branch is the only way to withdraw Russian rubles from your account.
This operation is not available when using a terminal. Please note that when withdrawing cash from ATMs, a commission of 0.75% of the withdrawal amount will be deducted from the user’s funds.
Using cards and transferring funds
Many holders of Russian bank cards are interested in whether it is possible to pay with similar payment instruments on the territory of Belarus. In fact, if a consumer has an international format card, he will be able to use it under the same conditions as in the Russian Federation.
This means that it can be used at any retail outlets equipped with cashless payment terminals, and is also suitable for withdrawing cash from local Sberbank ATMs without interest.
You can receive a money transfer in Russian rubles by contacting a bank branch
Transfers in Belarus
Clients of this organization also have access to a transfer service, which allows them to easily send money to a recipient in Belarus. To do this, you will need to use the Blitz money transfer system, which was developed by Sberbank.
It has several features that are worth mentioning:
- funds can be sent to states neighboring the Russian Federation, including the Republic of Belarus;
- the transaction is carried out in a short time, which allows you to quickly receive the required amount. The average time to receive funds is about an hour;
- A citizen of Belarus can receive funds at the nearest branch of this organization.
However, such a system also has certain disadvantages. The main one is considered to be the charging of a commission in the amount of 1.75% of the total transaction amount. At the same time, it cannot be less than 150 rubles and more than 3000. When sending funds, other restrictions apply. They relate to the transaction amount, which cannot be more than 0.5 million rubles.
If desired, the client can arrange an additional option - notifying the recipient that he has received funds. If they are not collected by him, the sender will be able to easily return his money back, with a deduction of 150 rubles as a commission.
Another method that allows you to transfer funds is international bank transfer. To complete it, you will need to visit the nearest Sberbank branch, provide the necessary documentation, as well as funds to send. The maximum period for crediting funds using this method is 2 days.
The list of documents required for sending includes a passport or any other document that allows you to confirm your identity, as well as the recipient’s details. The latter include the full name, account number, and the code of the branch where the transfer amount is expected to be withdrawn.
It should be remembered that any mistake made when specifying the details may lead to refusal to complete the operation. If desired, users can check the status of the shipment by visiting a bank branch. This service is provided on a paid basis, but it allows you to make a request for a refund if any problems arise with the translation.
