The Russian operator MTS announced that on July 27, when replenishing a personal phone account, home Internet and TV, a commission of 1% of the payment amount is introduced.
Replenishment of the balance in a number of ways entails additional costs for MTS. From February 1, 2023, new conditions for replenishing a personal account are in effect: depending on the method of payment for communication services you choose, a commission of no more than 1% of the payment amount may be withheld:
- when paying with bank cards in the My MTS application, on the mts.ru website, as well as in some partner services – 1%;
- when paying using the SBP initiated in the My MTS application or on the mts.ru website – 0.4%.
MTS introduces a commission for replenishing the account of home Internet and TV.
