Many financial institutions, and private cardholders, may need a money transfer service through Sberbank. This financial institution allows such operations not only within the country, but also beyond its borders. In addition, the bank offers several options for transferring funds, and each client will be able to choose the most suitable option for him. But there are many nuances, without knowing which it is better not to use the service, so that later there would be unnecessary claims to the organization.
Varieties of translations
There are two main types of money transfer of Sberbank. In the first case, the client does not need his own bank account, he just goes through the office in cash. In the second case, a scheme for transferring non-cash funds from one deposit to another works. In this case, the recipient can use the funds received in full or partially withdraw them. An exception is a time deposit, you can use funds from it only by completely closing it. But there is a nuance, if you close the deposit before withdrawing money, you can lose the accumulated interest.
Previously, the easiest way to make a money transfer through Sberbank was considered to be an appeal to a branch of a financial institution. Now, the transfer of funds via the Internet is becoming increasingly popular. Even when people turn to bank tellers, most often they ask to carry out the operation through self-service terminals. But for a transfer through a cash desk a person will need only a passport and a card number. If we consider ordinary transfers, then there are no restrictions on the amount of transfer as such. Maximum transfer of funds to the bank requires up to two business days. If the money is transferred to another city, then a fee is charged from the sender, which is 1.75 percent of the amount transferred. If a person transfers money from his bank account, the commission does not exceed 1.5 percent, and you can transfer not only money in the national currency, but also send euros and dollars.
Translation of "Hummingbird"
There is another option for an instant money transfer of Sberbank called “Hummingbird”. But there are some nuances. The advantage of this option is that the recipient will be able to receive the amount within ten minutes after the operation. But the client will not be able to send an amount above half a million rubles. The commission of such a transfer also makes up 1.5% of the transferred amount, the client will be informed free of charge via SMS about the arrival of money. The disadvantage of such a transfer is that money can only be transferred in national currency.
ATM
One of the most convenient ways of Sberbank money transfers is through a terminal. You can conduct this operation through any ATM of the bank. The funds will be credited to the recipient's card. In this case, there is no need to look for special terminals, cashless transfers are carried out through any available device.
The function of transferring personal funds is in every ATM, it is enough to know only the card number of the client to whom you need to send money. To carry out this operation, the client must insert his card into the ATM, enter the verification code, select the menu item “Payments and Transfers” and then select the necessary items and use the prompts of the ATM to complete the necessary operation. The main thing is to immediately double-check all entered data so that you do not accidentally send money to someone else. After that, the ATM will issue a check on the completion of the transfer. It is best to keep it until the client is convinced of the success of his actions. In this situation, money comes almost instantly to the recipient's card.
Sberbank Online
There is another option, how to transfer money through Sberbank, this is an online banking service. This option also allows you to transfer money from one card to another. To conduct this operation, the client must register in the online system of the bank, go to his personal account on the website and find the necessary services, namely “Payments and transfers”.
Among the drop-down list of proposed options, you need to use the transfer to the recipient's card and enter the data. Carrying out this operation will require additional confirmation from the client through a one-time SMS password, which will need to be entered in a special column. In your personal account, the translation can be saved as a template, so that the next time it would be much easier to execute and it would not be necessary to enter all the data again.
Mobile Bank
Another option, how you can transfer funds to a Sberbank card, is a mobile banking service. But it only works if the transferred amount needs to be credited to the customer’s card of the same bank. Moreover, both the sender and the recipient need to activate the mobile banking service. To carry out the operation, the client needs to send a message to the short number 900 with the text that contains the word "TRANSFER", the recipient's phone number and the transfer amount.
Transfers to other banks
Transferring money through Sberbank to another financial institution is a bit more complicated. If you just need to transfer funds to a card of another bank, you can use your personal account on the site. The main thing is to know the details of the recipient. It is they, and not the card number, that will be useful for this operation.
After entering all the data, they should be double-checked so that there are no errors and typos. Transfer usually does not take more than three business days. If the money needs to be transferred to the account, then experts recommend using electronic wallets for this, such as Qiwi or Yandex.Money.
