Auto-topping up the balance

Last update: June 09 2026

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-topping up, a bank card must be saved. All auto-top-ups can use one bank card. You can connect auto-topping up for each balance:

• for service-specific balances, you can connect one scheduled top-up and one balance threshold top-up;
• unified balance, you can connect several scheduled top-ups and one balance threshold top-up.

Save a bank card

To avoid entering card details for every payment or to connect auto-topping up, 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 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.
