School student card for meals
You can put money on it in different ways, which are often prescribed in the contract or information sheets. The student's school card is replenished with any amount in order for a certain amount of money to be debited during lunch in the canteen. The easiest way is to use internet services. To do this, you first need to find out the child's personal account. For example, residents of St. Petersburg can do this on the site petersburgedu.ru.

To do this, go to the section of educational services, open the item "My child at school". In the window that opens, select "Top up balance". Please note: a commission is taken for such a service.
Another opportunity to deposit funds for student lunches is e-wallets. Transfers are made both through the global web and electronic terminals. In any case, you will need to make a transfer from your wallet to the child's personal account.
When concluding a contract at the school, you may be offered to contribute finances through the School Meals service. This method is more convenient for many, but not all educational institutions are connected to it. To complete a transaction you need:
- Enter a personal account to enter your personal page.
- Click on the "Top up balance" button.
- Select the bank and card from which funds will be withdrawn.
- Specify the amount.

If the parents do not have a bank card, you can pay in cash. To do this, visit a branch of Sberbank or any other. To make a payment, you need to provide a passport and details for transferring funds. After the payment is made, a check is provided. It should be kept until the money is credited to the account.
