Eight Sber Bank ATMs in Minsk do not accept 5-ruble banknotes

Sber Bank has temporarily suspended acceptance of 5- and 20-ruble banknotes at some ATMs in Minsk. Five-ruble notes are no longer accepted at eight machines, and 20-ruble notes at one.

According to Sber Bank, the restrictions were introduced to prevent the ATMs from overflowing, to optimise their operation and to ensure uninterrupted service for customers. The bank recommends using nearby ATMs where acceptance is not restricted, or carrying out transactions at any branch that provides settlement and cash services. The bank did not say when the restrictions will be lifted.

Five-ruble notes are temporarily not accepted at ATMs at the following addresses: 1 Yefrosinyi Polotskoi St.; 156 Prytytskoha St.; 26 Dzerzhinskoho Ave.; 32A-8 Nezalezhnasti Ave.; 6 Mayakovskoho St.; 13 Petra Mstsislavtsa St.; 56-21 Partyzanski Ave. and 6 Mulyavin Boulevard.

At the ATM at 6 Mulyavin Boulevard, acceptance of 20-ruble banknotes has also been suspended.

In January 2026, the bank had already restricted topping up cards with 5-ruble banknotes at a number of ATMs.
