eSIM is a convenient, cutting-edge and safe solution, which is very important during the current coronavirus outbreak. Our customers can simply activate it on their smartphones and enjoy mobile connection with no need to visit our offices or telecom stores.
Moreover, it is safe in terms of data protection: if your mobile phone is stolen you can block it remotely and fraudsters will not be able to connect your eSIM to another device and get access to your mobile bank and finance.
eSIM also allows users to get a new mobile number to use multiple SIMs on your smartphone and quickly switch between them, as eSIM is very easy to manage. Subscribers can set or change any tariff or service package for their eSIM in a few clicks via the Tinkoff Mobile app.
The launch of the virtual mobile operator Tinkoff Mobile has become an ambitious task for Forward Telecom. First, tight deadlines. Secondly, Tinkoff Bank seeks to create offer-leaders in its niches, and this entails stringent performance criteria, requirements for flexibility and professionalism of performers. Thirdly, the level of quality of the services provided had to meet the standards set by the head business - the bank. Also within the framework of this project, tasks included the integration of Forward BSS into the bank's IT infrastructure, integration was assumed with a number of systems actively used in the daily operations of the bank.
Negotiations between Tinkoff Bank and Forward Telecom began in June 2017. Already in the middle of August, the first test calls with voice and data billing were carried out based on the Forward billing infrastructure. Until December, business processes were set up and integrated with Tinkoff Bank's IT systems - linked to the back end of the bank and the front end of the cellular operator. In December 2017, MVNO Tinkoff Mobile entered the market of virtual mobile operators in Russia. Globally, the project can be represented as the following plan:
In December 2019, Tinkoff launched Russia's first fully digital ATM, without keyboard or the ability to print receipts.[21] In the 2019 financial year, Tinkoff announced revenue increases of 33%.[21] Tinkoff Bank has updated its app to include cinema and hotel tickets, as well as booking holidays through the bank's subsidiary, Tinkoff Travel.[9] In March 2020, shares in the bank fell after Oleg Tinkov, who owns a 40% share in the bank, was indicted by the US Department of Justice.[22][23] Also in 2020, the bank helped fund German mobile banking startup Vivid Money, which is supported by solarisBank and Visa.[24]
29 March 2021 Tinkoff Bank filed a lawsuit in the Moscow Arbitration Court. The bank accused the mobile operator MTS of unfairly setting tariffs for sending SMS and demanded compensation in the amount of more than 1 billion roubles. MTS disagrees with the accusations.[27] A similar claim, but for 436.8 million roubles, against another operator of the Russian "big three" company, VimpelCom, was filed at the end of May.[28]
Tinkoff Bank is serving both retail and corporate customers (business banking). People between the ages of 18-35 are the ones to wholeheartedly embrace everything Tinkoff has to offer. This segment of the population normally has different expectations when it comes to banking. They want everything to be available on-demand, in an easy-to-use mobile or online format. This generation is essentially forming a new banking culture, which is better suited to their lifestyle.
Russian finance and tech provider Tinkoff has created a free version of its Oleg voice assistant that will filter and block spam and fraudulent calls. The new feature is available to anyone in Russia with a mobile phone, not just those who subscribe to Tinkoff or use its banking services.
Products are packed and delivered by X5 delivery service employees, while questions about orders can be asked in the support chat function of the Tinkoff app, where specialists are available 24/7. The conditions, prices and assortment when ordering via the Tinkoff app are the same as those for deliveries ordered through the Pyaterochka and Perekrestok mobile apps.
Tinkoff Bank is expanding its banking platform for children and teenagers with the launch of Tinkoff Junior, a mobile app that gives young clients an easy-to-use and robust tool to manage their personal finances.
Tinkoff Mobile first revealed the number of subscribers - by April 2021 there were 1.1 million people. We are talking about customers who use the connection of a virtual mobile operator at least once in three months.
In 2019, Tinkoff Mobile earned 1.14 billion rubles revenue, which is almost five times higher than a year ago. Net losses of the virtual mobile operator from the group "" Tinkoff increased from 716.75 to 966.5 million rubles, and losses from sales rose by 22.52% year on year and exceeded 1 billion rubles in 2019.

Over recent years, most financial institutions have embraced mobile apps as a way to provide better service and convenience for their customers. In 2019, over 75 percent of Americans said that they used their mobile device to check their bank account, and as COVID-19 has forced branches to temporarily close, the number is even higher for 2020.
Similar to the idea of WeChat (which allows users to chat, shop, pay bills, etc.), super apps go above and beyond the expected capabilities of a mobile application by creating an entire ecosystem with a variety of services and offerings all in one place. For example, instead of having to switch between apps focused on social media, banking, shopping or food delivery, users are now able to do everything in one app and with one account.
The benefits are clear: for users, it means they can save space on their phone, enjoy a more holistic mobile experience, and get personalized discounts, offers and insights from their favorite services and products. For companies, it provides them valuable user data, the opportunity to reach a wide and highly engaged audience, and a chance to partner with leading brands from other industries.
