How to get money in Russia 2.0
I already made a post about the koronapay App, -
https://www.instagram.com/reel/Cd5SDVQAtkY/ - but that way you always have to go to a Bank, have a lot of cash with you, and if you need more money, you have to get the hole process again.
So, here we go come to the more userfrindly Version:
tinkoffbank , - tinkoff.ru/sl/3fA1bSYQqGH - is a bank in Russia where you can apply online in the app, get a MIR Creditcard in 1-2 days, the best part is they deliver them where you are by courier, you can chose the place and time to get it.
So, 2 3 days before you cross the border, order one inside the app.
You can switch to English inside the app, so it’s easy to get use of it.
Just go into Koronapay
Use: send Money to Card
Enter your Tinkoff MIRCard
The money is INSTANT on the MIR Card
The good thing on Tinkoff, you get a lot of Cashbacks
You don’t have to wait 3 weeks for a card like on other banks
You don’t have to make the hole registration part like with Koronapay on every bank where you want to withdrawal money
No Cash with you the hole time
Much easier to get fuel, cause you don’t have to go back in to GasStation to pay again
The most important, no rolling Eyes from cashier, cause in Russia EVERYBODY is paying by card
