How to confirm transactions with Yandex Money and Sberbank Online via SMS in the USA?

Question

Yandex

The business operates entirely in the Russian financial infrastructure, Sberbank and Yandex.Money are the main payment instruments and are tightly tied to the Russian mobile number +7.
Everything is ready to move to the USA, but the most unexpected was the question of transferring the payment infrastructure. If it is still possible to pay dollars with huge interest through an envelope with a Yandex plastic card, then there are problems with the Savings Bank. And all these payments are tied to the Russian phone +7, to which it is not possible to receive SMS in the USA, but somehow you need to confirm the transactions with a password.
Have you had a similar experience with the Russian-speaking financial infrastructure in the United States, if the main flow of money goes to accounts in these banks in rubles?

Answer 1

Three solutions.
1. AlfaBank allows you to specify a foreign mobile number.
2. Russian SIM card in the USA . No problems, hundreds of customers, normal flight. It’s just a hassle to extend the validity period every six months so that the number is not taken away.
Roaming only requires a GSM-compatible phone. Roams on AT&T and T-Mobile networks.
3. Virtual number and reading SMS online . There is also a useful service from MegaFon
. Specifically, Yandex.Money has the option to confirm transactions not with an SMS password, but through a special application .
Moreover, you can order a new Yandex.Money carddirectly to the USA (delivered by mail) and indicate the American mobile number! For some time now they accept any numbers , not just +7.
