In addition to its services, several years ago the bank launched the virtual operator Tinkoff Mobile. Favorable conditions for communication, and the ability to make decisions independently - which communication services to use - distinguish it from other mobile communication providers.

Tinkoff Mobile virtual card: may come in handy
The mobile operator Megafon was the first to come up with a bank card , the balance of which is equal to the balance of the mobile phone. Competitors did not support the idea; co-branded cards from Beeline , MTS and Tele2 do not have such functionality.
Tinkoff Bank tried to adopt this experience. At the end of 2021, the mobile operator Tinkoff Mobile appeared, where the phone account balance is equal to the balance of the virtual card, which opens when receiving a SIM card.
Today we will try to find out whether this virtual machine has any practical meaning. Today we will not evaluate mobile communications or the Internet from the mobile operator Tinkoff Mobile, as well as its tariff policy. In short, in my opinion, standard communication services are a little expensive, but roaming, on the contrary, looks good. One of the advantages is the presence of pleasant additional promotions with bonus minutes and Internet traffic.
Tinkoff Mobile virtual card. Peculiarities
1 Free issue and delivery.
You can order a Tinkoff Mobile SIM card online . Delivery is carried out free of charge by couriers to many cities of the Russian Federation, as is the case with regular plastic bank cards. New clients (who did not yet have such a SIM card) are entitled to 7 days of free communication.
GET A TINKOFF MOBILE SIM CARD UPD: 09.29.2020 There is another promotion: if you order a Tinkoff Mobile SIM card using this link , the bank will give you 1000 rubles. to get in touch. The bonus must be used within 50 days after delivery.
GET 1000 RUB. CONTACT US And if you order using this link , you will receive a month of free communication (600 minutes and 20 GB of Internet).
GET A FREE MONTH OF COMMUNICATIONS Together with the SIM card, the client opens a virtual card bank account, the balance of which corresponds to the balance of the Tinkoff Mobile mobile phone.
For the welcome period, a free package is included for 600 minutes and 20 GB of Internet, which will need to be changed to a more suitable one for you, otherwise after 7 days it will simply be extended, only for money:
To be honest, I didn’t plan to use the full functionality of the mobile operator; I was only interested in the virtual card. Therefore, in the Tinkoff Mobile application, I disabled all packages (in this case, calls and SMS will cost 2.9 rubles, but there will be no mobile Internet, no subscription fee). I found the application convenient and informative; it is clearly visible whether any additional services are connected or not:
When applying for a SIM card, Tinkoff will offer to move to it from another operator along with the number and promise 500 rubles for this. Here it is worth considering that these promotional 500 rubles. can only be spent on communication services and only for 90 days. I was not interested in this offer.
There is no need to go to a communication store (Svyaznoy or Euroset) to get a Tinkoff Mobile SIM card, since in this case they will not open a virtual bank card and will also require you to immediately deposit 200 rubles into your account:
How to withdraw money from a credit card without commission and maintaining the grace period. Interest-free loan for a year. Legal way. All the details are in the article.
Save the Money! recommends:
2 Free service.
Servicing of the Tinkoff Mobile virtual bank card is carried out without commission (TPS tariff plan 8.0) without any additional conditions:
SMS notifications about transactions are also provided free of charge:
Megafon cards for new clients are now free only when a certain turnover is made (the “Light” tariff costs 49 rubles/month, free with a turnover of spending from 3,000 rubles/month; the “Standard” tariff costs 149 rubles/month. , the fee is not charged when the turnover of card expenses is from 10,000 rubles/month; the “Maximum” tariff costs 199 rubles/month, the fee is not charged when the turnover of card expenses is from 30,000 rubles/month). Those. at this point, the Tinkoff Mobile virtual app looks preferable.
The details of the virtual card can be viewed in the Internet bank or the Tinkoff Bank mobile application, where you can also generate a PIN code.
To use a virtual card for purchases and cash withdrawals, you need to add it to Google Pay, Samsung Pay or Apple Pay.
3 Interest on the balance.
For a daily balance on a virtual card from 1000 rubles. 5% per annum is charged:
At Megafon, the percentage on the balance is noticeably higher - from 6 to 10%, however, to accrue it you need to make a monthly turnover of spending on the card from 3,000 rubles.
As of September 29, 2020, the daily balance on the virtual card is from RUB 1,000. accrued at 3.5% per annum.
4 Cashback 1% on everything.
For all purchases using the Tinkoff Mobile card, 1% cashback in rubles is credited (it can be spent on purchases or on communication services, but withdrawn only with a commission). There is an unprofitable rounding of porridge down to the whole value (for a purchase of 199 rubles they will give only 1 ruble). Cashback is credited once a month on the statement date:
Monthly cashback limit is RUB 3,000.
The list of exceptions for calculating remuneration is not so long:
Unlike the Megafon card , there is a hassle for taxes (MCS 9311), but Megafon gives cashback for MCC 4816:
In addition, the Tinkoff Mobile card participates in the Tinkoff Target program, through which you can receive additional cashback for purchases from partners.
The main point of cards whose balance is equal to the balance of a mobile phone is that they can be topped up with cashback, or, at a minimum, while maintaining the grace period on a credit card with a long grace period .
When replenishing the Tinkoff Mobile balance in the Tinkoff Mobile or Tinkoff Bank application from a card of another bank, MCC 4814 (“Telecommunications Services”) is issued; for some cards, cashback is provided for such an operation (for example, for “ ALL AT A TIME” from “ Raiffeisenbank , debit cards of Rosselkhozbank , Fora-Bank , Ozon.Card , Kukuruza, etc.).
Why pay for purchases with credit cards with long grace without cashback directly (for example, using the new Otkritie credit card with a grace period of 120 days ), when you can first top up your virtual card without a commission and into grace, and make the same purchases with it, only this time with cashback from Tinkoff Bank.
The Megafon card has a 1% cashback on the Standard tariff, which is free for purchases over 10,000 rubles/month. On the “Maximum” tariff, cashback is 1.5%, but it is free only for purchases over 30,000 rubles/month.
The limit for replenishing Tinkoff Mobile through the application of the same name is 50,000 rubles. 30 days in advance, there is no limit for replenishment via Internet banking or the Tinkoff Bank mobile application:
5 You cannot withdraw money for free.
Withdrawing from the Tinkoff Mobile virtual machine, as well as cashing out at an ATM (you need devices that support NFC, Sberbank has a lot of them) will cost a commission of 2.9%. You can transfer money for free only to a Tinkoff Bank payment card if the virtual card was topped up from it by transfer in the Internet bank, mobile application or ATM (not as a top-up to a phone number).
You can also transfer money to another Tinkoff Mobile virtual machine for free:
To withdraw money from your Tinkoff Mobile balance with minimal losses, you can, for example, on the MTS website top up your MTS balance from the Tinkoff Mobile virtual machine without commission, and then in the MTS Money application transfer funds from your phone balance to MTS Bank card with a commission of 0.9%.
Here, Megafon cards look much more advantageous when making purchases over 3,000 rubles. You can withdraw 10,000 rubles/month from them. at any ATM without commission, and also withdraw through third-party services with a commission of 1.9%.
6 Commission for inactivity.
Tinkoff Mobile, like all other mobile operators , has a fee for inactivity. If there is no activity for 90 days in a row, a daily fee of 5 rubles begins to be charged until the account is reset to zero. If there are no movements on the account within 120 days, the contract may be terminated.
To avoid this, any action that leads to a change in the balance (for example, replenishment) is sufficient; therefore, purchases with a virtual card should also reset this counter:
Conclusion
The Tinkoff Mobile virtual card is free, and it can be used, although it certainly cannot be called universal.
The Megafon map, in general, looks better. If the basic services of the mobile operator Tinkoff Mobile interest you (I know many who are very pleased with this service, and many with the opposite point of view), then a virtual card will be a good addition.
