Online currency exchange on Yandex Money: a variety of possibilities


Dollar exchange rate Yandex. Money is considered the main domestic component, which should be considered when transferring funds from one wallet to another. Using the service, you can perform virtual and real transactions. If previously all transfers were made to similar wallets, today transactions are carried out in any currency, both to individuals and legal entities.

The state payment system Yandex is considered the first in the world to issue its own plastic card. It makes it possible to pay in stores, make purchases on the Internet, and make transfers to other users. However, here you need to take into account that Yandex. Money has an individual conversion rate, built according to the system of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation. In the case of transfers, the size of the commission should be taken into account, sometimes it is 2-3% of the total transaction amount.

Good to know! Tinkoff Bank issues plastic cards; the credit card has a chip and magnetic tape.

What is the Yandex Money payment system?

The owner of 75% of the shares of the electronic payment system (EPS) is Sberbank of Russia, which has multi-billion-dollar capital. In the service you can transfer funds, make payments for housing and communal services, Internet, and mobile communications. Yandex Money has:

  1. Wide functionality. It is possible to issue a card from EPS or attach a card from any bank to a virtual account. With their help, it is easy to cash out, make payments online, and pay for purchases in regular stores.
  2. Intuitive and user-friendly interface. Registering a wallet takes a minimum of time due to the most simplified functionality of the system. The currency in which the user will subsequently make transfers through Yandex Money is not particularly important.
  3. An effective support service, whose security department operates around the clock, allowing you to resolve issues as quickly as possible.
  4. Increased degree of protection. Authorization in your account requires entering a password - a secret combination consisting of numbers and letters. Account security is ensured by linking it to a phone number. One-time codes are sent to the client’s phone to confirm transactions.


Even an inexperienced PC user can open a wallet.
Yandex Money is used everywhere. Clients have access to their registered wallet 24 hours a day.

How to exchange currency on Yandex Money online

Owners of Yandex Money electronic wallets have been able to exchange foreign currencies since 2013, and since 2022 they have the opportunity to use multi-currency accounts.

For conversion, special accounts are used, which can be opened after confirming a certain level in the system.

After completing the identification process, the “Other currencies” window appears on the main page of the site. The user can open an account in one currency or several. Maintenance of such accounts is free.

To exchange currency for Yandex Money from a bank card:

  • the user must have an account with YaD in the currency that will be transferred, otherwise the funds will be credited to a ruble account and converted at the Central Bank rate + 2% commission;
  • For citizens of the Russian Federation, transfers must be sent only from a foreign bank, since transfers between foreign currency accounts of Russian citizens are prohibited by law.

You can also make an online exchange of your existing currency using one of the currency wallets that is open in addition to the ruble wallet. All operations are carried out in the user’s personal account in a short time. If actions are performed in the Yandex Money application, the transfer commission is 0%, on the website - 0.5%.

All transaction parameters are available for review.

The minimum transfer amount is one unit of convertible currency. For example, 1 euro or 1 Polish zloty. The maximum limit is the equivalent of 400,000 rubles in the currency of transfer.

What currencies can be exchanged in the Yandex Money system are explained in this video:

Exchange rate

The exchange rate is as close as possible to the exchange rate and is updated every 5 minutes. There is a link on the site that allows the user to familiarize themselves with the Central Bank exchange rate in effect at the time of exchange.

Why do you need a foreign currency account in Yandex Money?

I see two scenarios so far. Travel and savings. When planning your travels, you can track the exchange rate of the desired currency in advance and instantly convert rubles into dollars or other currencies.

Previously, when paying for purchases abroad with a Yandex card, the conversion took place at the rate of MasterCard + 2.7%. But now, even if you did not have time to transfer the required amount, Yandex will do it for you, but simply at the current rate of the required currency.

But to pay for purchases abroad, do not forget to enable the multi-currency cards option.

My balance in Yandex Money

Exchange Yandex Money with withdrawal to the card of Sberbank and other banks

To transfer money from the Yandex Money virtual wallet to a card, you only need to know its number.

If the user did not identify his identity when registering in the system, i.e. his wallet is anonymous, then it is impossible to carry out an exchange and send funds to the card.

The sources of funds for the transaction can be a ruble wallet and a card linked to it, as well as any bank card. In the latter case, the presence of a wallet in the system is not mandatory. EPS charges a commission for exchanging funds in the amount of 3% of the amount + 45 rubles.

You can withdraw money to Sberbank cards, as well as any other banks of the following types:

  • Maestro;
  • "World";
  • MasterCard;

To withdraw funds from an electronic wallet to a card, you must indicate its number and the transfer amount, adding, if necessary, a message for the recipient. The website will display information about the final transfer amount, including a commission of 3% + 45 rubles.

The money will be debited and credited to the card almost instantly. However, depending on the bank chosen, the transfer can sometimes take up to 5 business days.

Statuses and identification

Earlier I already mentioned statuses and possible limits, now let's look into it in more detail. After registration, everyone is immediately assigned the first of 3 statuses: “Anonymous”; there are also “Named” and “Identified”.

Anonymous - given to all new users of the system. It has some restrictions, for example, the account limit is no more than 15,000 rubles. You also cannot withdraw cash from an ATM. There is too little information about you, so there are cases that if there is suspicious activity, your account may be temporarily frozen.

Personalized - assigned after filling out an express form on the website where the owner’s passport details are registered, available only for Russian citizens. You can store up to 60,000 rubles. Withdraw money from the card up to 5,000 rubles. per day. Transfers to other wallets and banks are possible.

Identified - the highest status with maximum capabilities, limit up to 500,000 rubles. and an additional 10 accounts in other currencies. Available for citizens of Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Kazakhstan, etc. To receive, you need to confirm your identity by going through identification.

To change your account status, go to settings and click “Pass identification”. There you will see your current status, under the identified one, click go again. For the Russian Federation there are 7 methods, you can click on each one to get acquainted. All that remains is to choose the most convenient one and fulfill all the conditions.
