It is bad form to say that Russians have been living in a payment vacuum for over two years now, unable to directly pay for foreign online services and order goods from abroad. Because it is still possible to bypass the imposed restrictions. Another question is how. Not everyone can afford to go to another country for a few days just to get a bank card there. And who said that everything will work out and you won't be turned away? It is much better to simply issue yourself a Kazakhstani virtual card through the WantToPay service and not know any grief.

Types of WantToPay cards
WantToPay has a wide range of cards for different purposes
WantToPay offers users two main types of cards: virtual and prepaid, each of which has its own unique characteristics and benefits.
WantToPay Virtual Cardsare presented in two tariffs: Easy and Pro. The Easy tariff is ideal for those who are just starting to get acquainted with the service.

The card with the Easy tariff is valid for 24 months and has a maximum limit of $1000, and the monthly limit is $100, which is quite enough for most everyday online purchases.
For more active users whose online shopping expenses exceed $100 per month, WantToPay offers the Pro tariff. This card has advanced features and a higher level of protection. It supports balance replenishment in USDT and includes support for 3DSecure technology to protect payments. Its validity period is also longer and is 36 months. The card issuance costs 990 rubles, plus $10 that will remain on the account for the first purchases. In the first month, the service will be free for you, and from the second, the monthly fee will be 690 rubles.

Prepaid cards can also be issued in the same way.
Prepaid cards in dollars
This is a separate category of cards for users who do not want to pay for issuance and maintenance. The balance of these cards is displayed in tenge and USD, and their validity period is 6 months. It is important to note that the balance of prepaid cards cannot be replenished after issue, and upon expiration or depletion of the balance, the card is automatically deleted.
