About the card
"OTP Premium Light" is a premium debit card from OTP Bank. It offers more favorable terms than the classic card from the same credit institution. For example, cardholders receive free transaction alerts, more attractive terms for cash withdrawals and transfers, a more profitable bonus program, and additional privileges. Let us tell you a little more about this.
Terms
You can get the "OTP Premium Light" debit card completely free of charge. You also will not have to pay for its reissue, or for the issuance and reissue of additional plastic cards.
Servicing costs 1,490 rubles per month. At the same time, you can use the card for free if you meet at least one of the free-of-charge conditions:
- Receive at least 10,000 rubles per month on the card and make purchases totaling at least 30,000 rubles per month.

You can top up your debit card for free using one of the following methods:
- by card-to-card transfer from cards of other banks;
- via SBP (Faster Payments System) transfer from cards of other banks;
- with cash at OTP Bank ATMs and cash desks.
You can withdraw cash for free with OTP Premium Light at OTP Bank ATMs and teller windows, as well as at Gazprombank ATMs with no limits. In addition, this is possible at ATMs and teller windows of other banks up to 50,000 RUB per month.
An overpayment fee applies for exceeding this limit. It is 1%, but not less than 100 RUB.
You can transfer money for free between your accounts up to 30 million RUB per month, as well as to other OTP Bank clients with no limits.
