Tinkoff Bank employees reported that it is now impossible to top up the account using Visa, Mastercard and Mir cards using the phone number.
As an alternative, it is proposed to use the fast payment system (FPS) with a limit of 100,000 rubles per month and a possible commission if this amount is exceeded.
This innovation may cause trouble for many users who are accustomed to the convenience and speed of mobile payments.
To replenish your account, Tinkoff Bank recommends using your personal account on the tinkoff.ru website and installing this function on the main screen of your phone.
This raises questions about how far changes in operating systems can go and how they can affect users’ daily lives. It also questions the reliability of mobile platforms as a tool for conducting financial transactions.
