# Auto-topping up the balance

To ensure there is always enough money in your balance to pay for products and services, you can set up auto-topping up your balance from a bank card by a specific amount.

You will receive email notifications about upcoming, successful, and failed charges (for example, if there are insufficient funds on the card or a technical failure occurred at the bank).

You can set up auto-topping up your balance:

* by schedule — topping up will occur on a specific day of the month at 12:00  Moscow time;
* balance threshold — topping up will occur when the balance amount drops to the specified value.

To configure auto-refill, a [bank card must be saved](#save-bank-card). All auto-refills can use the same bank card. [Enable auto-refill](#enable-scheduled-payments) for each balance:

* for [service-specific balances](/balance-and-payments/balance.mdx#balance-types), you can connect one scheduled top-up and one balance threshold top-up;
* [unified balance](/balance-and-payments/balance.mdx#balance-types), you can connect several scheduled top-ups and one balance threshold top-up.

## Save a bank card \{#save-bank-card}

To avoid entering card details for every payment or to [connect auto-topping up](#enable-scheduled-payments), you can save it. If a card is saved but auto-topping up is not enabled, funds will not be charged from the card.

To save a card when [topping up the balance](/balance-and-payments/manage/top-up-balance.mdx) select the **Save card** checkbox. Within 10 minutes, the card will appear on the **Auto-topping up the balance** page in the **My cards**.

Selectel does not store bank card information. The data is processed by the payment system of an international processing center, which uses a PCI DSS security certificate to protect data.
