When paying for digital television operator services through a payment terminal, Sberbank does not charge a commission.

Satellite television operator Tricolor has already fallen in love with many Russian residents; it has been chosen by more than 10 million families. You can connect Tricolor both in an apartment and in a private house; in any case, the quality of television will be at its best, provided that you pay for the broadcast services on time.

In the further content of the article, it is proposed to consider all payment options for Tricolor television.

Like other telecommunications providers, TricolorTV offers two general types of payment - on-site and remotely.

“On the spot” may include going to a banking institution, a communications store, or finding a payment terminal. Remote payments are made through electronic wallets, bank cards and personal mobile phone accounts.

By bank card

The most popular payment method for TV is also called “instant”. Having a card from one of the recognized banks, you can pay from anywhere in the country. To do this, you just need, as always, to know the ID, amount and name of the package for which you intend to renew.

How to pay this way:

All calculations are made on the website of TricolorTV itself - options are possible with or without logging into your Personal Account. In any case, the transaction will appear in the history of funds received. Payment page - https://public.tricolor.tv/#Payments/UniversalPaymentSmartCard?undefined=undefined. If you were unable to follow the link, you need to go to the main page of the provider’s website, select “Support” and “Payment”, and then click on “Instant payment” and “Pay” in the menu on the left.
The system will prompt you to enter the equipment ID - this is a numeric code assigned to each receiver or smart card issued by Tricolor, which is a kind of passport data. You can find it in the documents/contract, on the back of the smart card or by pressing the No. button when the broadcast is on on any channel.
After entering the ID and verification, you will need to select the amount and package.
Next, the system will redirect you to a secure page to enter your card details. Be sure to make sure that the page is secure - hints may include the SmartSecure, MasterCard logo, as well as a closed padlock icon in the address field in the browser.
Enter the necessary details of your card - usually these are the numbers on the front and back (attention, enter the three-digit number from the back of the card only on a secure page), the owner’s first and last name, and the phone number associated with the card.
Depending on the bank, the system may ask you to specify a numeric confirmation password, which the bank will send to your phone number to check whether you are actually transferring funds.
Funds will be credited immediately and without commission (depending on the bank).

TricolorTV can be paid for at retail outlets and network stores of telecom operators. Only Euroset, Svyaznoy and Tricolor itself do this without commission. In other places you will need to pay.

To pay in person, you need:

Choose a salon or office that suits you (closer to home, on the way from work, etc.)
Come during business hours with your ID number, money (cash or card, but you can’t pay by card everywhere), and the name of the TV program package for which you will pay.
Give the information to the manager and pay.
Receive a receipt for the transaction.

Payment terminals and ATMs are a faster way than a personal visit to the salon. There are many of them, they are located on almost every corner, they charge a small commission (or do not charge at all if you have a card from the same bank as the terminal itself), and at the same time issue a check.

The algorithm varies, but is still similar:

On the terminal or ATM screen, you need to select “Payment.
You will definitely need the ID of your Tricolor smart card, otherwise the money will go “nowhere”.
Find a company in the list and enter ID, phone number, amount and other data that the terminal requires from you.
Pay with a bank card (of the same bank, if the terminal is a bank terminal) or in cash (most often). Cash is deposited in banknotes into the terminal receiver, and, as a rule, this must be done without change, since such “machines” do not issue it, but can transfer it to the phone account.
After carefully checking all the entered data and amount, click “Pay”.

At bank cash desks

You can pay the old fashioned way - at the cash desks of partner banks (8 banks today). The downside of this method is queues and a very impressive commission, but it is the safest if you do not want to risk online payments or contact terminals.

All you need is an ID number or contract number, as well as the name of the package you are renewing and money. You can pay either in cash or by card if you are a client of this bank. Card fees are typically less than cash fees. For example, Sberbank charges a commission of 2.5% when paying TV bills through the cash register and the operator. In Sberbank terminals, the commission is rarely more than 1%, and sometimes there is none at all.

As confirmation of the transaction, the manager is obliged to issue a check with the details, time, amount of credit, and the data you provided.

To make a payment you will need to enter certain data:

the name of the package connected to you (for example, “Unified”);
amount required for payment;
personal identification number of the receiver, consisting of a set of numbers (look on the smart card).

Current information about the cost of the package and the status of your personal account must be viewed in your personal account on the official website of Tricolor TV. If you have all the necessary data, you can proceed with payment.

You can pay for the service through Sberbank in several ways. In this case, you can do this in cash or from a Sberbank card.

If you have cash, you will need a device with a function for accepting banknotes; if you have a Sberbank plastic card, you can pay in any of its devices.

To get started, insert the card into the appropriate slot on the device or touch the monitor if you want to deposit cash. Next, payment for Tricolor TV through the terminal proceeds as follows:

you enter the “Payments” menu (or “Payments and transfers”, based on the interface of the selected device);
select the “Television” option, after which you need to find the provider we need - Tricolor TV;
the subscriber’s personal data is entered - receiver number (12 to 14 digits), connected television service package;
the amount is indicated (minimum – the cost of the subscription fee within the connected package, maximum – 15,000 rubles);
entered data is checked;
payment is confirmed by pressing the corresponding button;
when paying in cash through a Sberbank terminal, the required number of banknotes is deposited; when paying by credit card, the specified amount is debited from the bank account;
a receipt is displayed with information about the transaction performed.

It is much more convenient to pay for the service through your Sberbank Online personal account, as there is no need to leave your home or office.

What is an ID code and where to get it

Every time you contact technical support or pay for services, the system requests a certain ID number, which in the first seconds causes confusion in the user, since he does not know where to get it.

You can find your personal ID code on a card with a chip built into the tuner (the so-called smart card). ID consists of 14 or 12 digits.

The TV tuner remote control will also help you find the ID. To do this, just decide on the model of your receiver and press the “ID” or “Tricolor TV” button on the remote control (if available), select the “Status” section and read the ID identification number in the field that opens. However, difficulties may arise at this stage and the ID will not be displayed. In this case, you should restart the tuner and perform the above steps again. If this does not help, then it’s time to go to a service center.

Payment via the Internet

You can often meet people who are interested in how to pay for Tricolor TV through Sberbank online. And they can be understood. After all, payments through the Sberbank online system do not require leaving home and are completed in a few minutes without paying extra fees.

To pay via Internet banking, simply go to your personal account on the official Tricolor website and select the appropriate method and partner in the “Pay” tab. They may be:

Sberbank
Alfa Bank
VTB 24
Russian standard.

A complete list of banks providing Internet banking services is posted on the Tricolor TV website. Please note, in order to be able to use the banking of one of the partners, you must be connected to their services.

Payment via mobile

It has long been noted that mobile phones greatly simplify our lives. This can be especially felt in those days when the date of the next payment for the use of television services is approaching.

The Qiwi Wallet, RuRu and Ubank applications installed on your smartphone will help you not to miss an important day and make payments in a matter of seconds. In order for the Ubank application to free you from routine work when paying bills, you need to download it (for example, from the Play Market) and link a valid card. When paying with a bank card (any bank), a commission of 1% of the paid amount will be charged.

The RuRu payment world makes it possible to pay for Tricolor TV via a mobile phone using SMS. You need to send it to number 7878. In the text of the message, write the name of the package and your ID (necessarily separated by a space). Before sending a message, make sure that there is a sufficient amount on your phone balance to be debited in favor of Tricolor TV, as well as to charge additional fees.

This service is available to users of the following mobile operators: Beeline, Megafon, MTS, Tele2. Sending a message is free only for Beeline, while MTS subscribers will also be charged 10 rubles. In addition, for any operator there is a certain percentage of the amount written off (usually from 2.5% to 3.5%).

If you are the owner of a Qiwi wallet, then the Qiwi Wallet function will allow you to pay bills from Tricolor in any convenient way:

cash;
by bank card;
via mobile phone from your personal account.

Method number 4: is it really possible to use online wallets?

Surprisingly, even this is available when using Tricolor T TV channels. You don’t need to go anywhere, register anything, or even go outside. Sitting at home in comfortable clothes (even if next to the TV), you can transfer funds to the company using such famous Internet wallets as QIWI, WebMoney, Yandex.Money.

All that is required from the subscriber:

Find the Tricolor TV operator.

Pay the required amount of money.

As you can see, you don’t have to do anything complicated.

How to pay in communication shops and retail outlets

If for some reason it is inconvenient for you to pay for television services through your personal account and Internet banking, you can do this in communication stores (Euroset, Svyaznoy, Gorod, AltTelecom, Frisbee) or at such points accepting payments such as Eldorado, Rosttelecom, MTS, WestTelecom, Maria-Ra.

In most of these points you can pay for Tricolor TV without commissions.

The payment procedure is as follows:

You tell the operator the name of the package or equipment that needs to be paid for (for example, the “Unified”, “Children’s” package, as well as a new satellite dish);
Voice the id number, consisting of 12 or 14 digits, and the amount to be deposited;
After this, carefully read the data on the check so that all numbers and amounts match (otherwise the money may go to someone else’s account or not arrive at all);
Sign the receipt and give it to the operator (he keeps this receipt);
Receive your payment receipt and keep it.

Payment terminals and ATMs

The most common payment method is terminals. This is due to the large availability of such devices and ease of use. To make a payment, you must perform several sequential actions:

In the terminal window, select the “Television” shortcut;
Activate the TV provider icon;
In the subsection that appears, enter the ID code and select the service package that will be paid for;
We load the required amount of money into the terminal, make the payment and collect the check.

The receipt must be kept as proof that the money was transferred. It is important to remember that payment acceptance machines take a percentage of the deposited amount for their work. This should be taken into account when depositing money into your account.

Having a bank card, payments can be made through an ATM. The procedure looks like this:

We insert the card into the receiver and enter the PIN code;
Select the “Payments” field;
In the “Television” section, dial the receiver number and the package of paid services;
By clicking the “Accept” button, enter the amount and click “Pay”;
We take the check and keep it until the money is credited.

Other payment methods

When connecting digital equipment, you can order a special payment card from the Tricolor operator with a secret PIN code, which is located on the back of the card and hidden by a special layer.

After you erase it and enter the PIN, the purchased package is activated. As a rule, the package validity period is 1 year. The cost of one package is 1200 rubles.

The advantage of this method is that, having activated the service once, you do not have to think about when it expires and look for ways to make payment.

You can purchase the following scratch cards:

at official representative offices of Tricolor TV;
at Tricolor company dealers;
in the NolimitElectronics distribution network;
through Yandex.Money (the most favorable conditions are offered here, since packages are sold at special prices and contain from 3 to 10 PIN codes).

You can also pay for Tricolor TV at the cash desk (and ATMs) of those banks with which the provider cooperates (see the list of available banks on the Tricolor website). Some banks charge a commission. You can check its size with a bank employee at the time of payment. Through the cash desk, bills are paid in cash.

When paying through the terminal, you should select the column “Television” - “Tricolor TV” - the name of your package. All that remains is to enter the ID number and contribution amount. Check the data is correct and proceed to payment. Afterwards, don't forget to pick up the check. In any controversial situations, the check will be your document.
