Register with Yandex

The best part about the different products of the brand is that once you have signed up for one, you gain access to all its services using the same credentials. Any regular user will be able to open an e-wallet Yandex account by simply entering their existing username and password. What is more, if you decide to go with the Yandex.Checkout option instead when processing your payments, all you need to do is provide an eligible MasterCard, Maestro or Visa credit/debit card to settle the transaction charges.

If you are a novice, on the other hand, the best thing to do is to access the official Yandex website and register for an account. In this regard, it is important to bear in mind that potential users can make use of three different types of accounts, depending on the amount of information they are ready to share with the service.

All newly registered users start off at the anonymous status, which offers them the basic capabilities. Transaction amount limits are fairly low – 15,000 Rubles per payment, 5,000 Rubles per withdrawal, and 15,000 Rubles maximum balance, more precisely. However, on account of this, users do not share any personal information with the service. Those willing to provide the necessary documentation (government-issued passport) will move to the status of identified user.

These get higher limits – 250,000 Rubles per transaction, 100,000 per withdrawal and up to 500,000 Rubles e-wallet balance. These and the third ones additionally get the functionality of cashing out funds to traditional banking methods – cards, money transfer services, bank accounts, ATMs and more.
Speaking of it, the third account status is reviewed – solely available to Russia residents, and packed with even more accessible and beneficial limits and features.
