Sberbank has joined the SBP in a big secret

  • Dec 11, 2020

The sky did not fall to the ground, the passes were not canceled in Moscow, but an amazing event happened that no one did not expect: Sberbank quietly began to support the Rapid Payments System (SBP), but carefully this hides. :)


The system of fast payments is a very convenient thing that allows you to instantly and without commission transfer money from one bank to another using a phone number. SBP supports many banks and only one SBP until recently refused to join the SBP, paying fines to the Central Bank for this.

You will not find news on the support of SBP on the Sberbank website and not a word about this in the lists of transfer opportunities either, there is nothing even in the news. If you enter SBP in the search, there will be one page about the mobile application, on which somewhere deep at the bottom of the second tab the following is modestly written:


Not only does Sberbank hide as much as possible the fact that he began to support SBP, he also turned off the ability to SBP for all clients by default. To enable it, we update the mobile application and go into such a jungle that no ordinary client will ever enter:

We click on the profile icon, then on the gear, then at the end of the list we find "Agreements and agreements" and there is already "Fast payment system". Well hidden, isn't it? :)


We put a daw, click "Connect", click the green word "Connect", then the button "Connect" and "Go back". Uff. Connected!


The SBP translation itself was also hidden as best they could. We press "Payment or transfer", scroll down to the very end and there, in the "Other services" section, we find a gray inconspicuous "Transfer through the Fast Payment System".


I don't even want to say anything about how the bank treats its customers if it tries like this hide from them the most convenient and free translation, offering their translations in prominent places commission.
