Hello, everyone!
I've been using Megafon Money to make payments and transfers, and I've gotta say, it's been a wild ride.
First things first, I headed to my personal Irecommend page and clicked on the "My Money" button.
Withdrawing funds from IrecommendFrom there, I found the "Withdraw Money" button and filled in the necessary info.
Now, let's talk about the good stuff – using Megafon Money to make payments and transfers.
First, I logged in to my Megafon Money account. If you don't have one, you'll need to register on this financial services portal.
Once I was logged in, I was taken to a new page with a ton of features.
Logging in to Megafon MoneyI was able to pay for services, transfer money, and even top up my account – all from the comfort of my own home.
Confirming loginOne of the features I appreciate is the ability to transfer money to another person. All I need to know is their phone number, and I'm good to go.
Transferring money to another phoneIt's worth noting that if you've previously linked your bank card to your phone number, it will also be displayed on this page. You can link multiple cards and use them for payments or transfers here.
Transferring to another phoneI've found it super convenient to use either my personal account or a card linked to my number to initiate a transfer. The transfer fee is 1.99%.
From my account, I can withdraw funds to either my mobile operator's card or a card from another bank.
To do this, I headed to my page and clicked on 'Transfer money'.
Ways to transfer moneyI've got a few options to choose from.

I selected the relevant option and clicked on the checkbox afterwards.
On the resulting page, I filled in the recipient's card number and the amount. Then, I clicked on the 'Transfer' button.

Bank Account TransferI've found the transaction history to be really useful, it's all reflected on the account page.
Transaction History and Payment TemplatesPersonally, I opted for a virtual SIM card. It's super easy to set up in your personal account, no need to leave the house.
To do this, just head to the 'Digital Card' section.
My Megafon User PageI chose my tariff plan.

And that's it, the card is activated. It's valid for 3 years.
The card has standard details:

The standout features for me were the fast transfer of funds, the option to use my card, and the convenience of transferring funds. I also appreciated the ease of paying for services and the user-friendly interface.
However, I was surprised by the extra fee for using cards, and the big commission for transactions was a real bummer.
So, the question remains: will I be using Megafon Money? The answer is still up in the air. On the one hand, it's great to have a user-friendly interface and fast withdrawals from IRecommend; on the other hand, those high commission rates are a major turn-off. Ultimately, it's up to you to decide whether or not to use this service – it's all about what works best for you.
Take care, and stay healthy!
