This service is currently not available at all banks, but it is expected that in the coming years this service will be expanded by major commercial banks that have a regional network of branches.

After filling out the application form, you will need to select your preferred delivery method. Customers may be offered one or more of the following ways to receive their debit cards:

Pickup at a branch.
Delivery by courier service.
Home delivery.
Delivery via postal mail.

In each specific case, a representative will confirm the details with you before you begin processing your debit card with home delivery.

To properly order a debit card with home delivery, you must provide your place of residence in accordance with your passport details. If you have a temporary place of stay, the courier will deliver the plastic card to the specified address. Please note that the temporary address must have a legal basis—meaning the document confirming your actual place of stay is issued by migration authorities.

What are the delivery times for a home-delivered debit card

The standard card production time is 7 business days. This rule applies to personalized debit cards. Weekends and holidays are not counted. Therefore, a debit card delivered by courier will arrive no earlier than 10 days.

In most cases, financial and credit institutions use a mobile service that promptly delivers the banking product to the client's home. Courier services typically operate only in regions where the bank or a branch of the financial institution is located. The courier has the bank's authority to carry out card delivery operations at home. As a rule, this is a staff or freelance employee of the financial institution. Some financial institutions train specialists who, at the time of handing over the document package, explain how to use the payment instrument. Some couriers are authorized to activate the bank card directly with its rightful owner. However, it is recommended to additionally verify card security through your online banking personal account.

Non-personalized instant debit cards are issued much faster, and courier delivery to your home is carried out almost on the day of application. The courier's duties include processing paperwork from the applicant, taking a photograph, collecting the signed application form, and signing the credit card maintenance agreement.

Which banks deliver debit cards to your home and via courier service

Each region has its own core commercial banks that provide various services to clients, including organizing debit card delivery to homes or via courier service. In Moscow, home delivery of debit cards is provided by many credit institutions.

Banks that deliver cards to your home

The leader in this area is Citibank, which offers clients an extensive lineup of debit cards with home delivery, specifically products such as:

CitiOne.
CitiOne+.
Citi Priority.
Citigold.

A client of the credit institution submits an application for a debit card on our comparison service by clicking through to Citibank's official website. Next, you need to fill out standard application requirements. After that, you should check whether Citibank's courier service operates in your region of residence or stay. If a courier service is available, the card is delivered to your home within 5-7 business days. To all other regions, the card is delivered exclusively via Russian Post.

Alfa-Bank is also a leader in debit card home delivery offers.

Третьим по значимости и популярности по доставке дебетовых карточек на дом курьерской службой является банк Т-Банк. Банк имеет огромную линейку банковских продуктов, в том числе самую популярную карту Блэк. Однозначно можно сказать что банковское учреждение не имеет своих филиалов в России (незначительное количество), поэтому весь фронт работы был перемещен в сферу курьерской доставки на дом или через канал связи «Почта России».

In addition, similar debit card home delivery services in Moscow are provided by the following Russian credit institutions:

Raiffeisenbank.
Promsvyazbank.
Otkritie.
Rocketbank.
Rosgosstrakh Bank.
OTP Bank.
Russian Standard Bank.

To check if home delivery of a debit card is available in your area, please review the regional terms on the credit institution's official website.

How the activation of a banking product works

Card activation at a branch takes place in the presence of an employee. Some financial institutions that offer home delivery of debit cards use the following activation procedures:

Activation in the presence of a courier authorized to act as a bank manager.
The cardholder receives a sealed envelope with no signs of tampering. The envelope contains activation instructions and a PIN.
You must call the bank's hotline and complete the activation with the help of an operator or automated voice system.
After receiving the card, you need to visit the bank's website, log in to internet banking, and follow the provided steps to complete activation.

In all activation scenarios, a mobile phone is required. The device must be able to receive and send text messages. The digital signature will have the same legal weight as a handwritten signature on paper.

Our card matching service helps you choose the most reliable and trusted financial products: debit cards with home delivery featuring various loyalty programs that allow cardholders to independently manage their accounts and financial capabilities.
