Temporary card for payments

A separate virtual card for one specific task: top it up with exactly what you need, pay, and send the remainder back to assets.

Millpay has no separate “temporary” plan — the scenario is built from a regular virtual card.

What a temporary Millpay card is

A temporary card usually means one opened for a specific task: a single purchase, a trial subscription or a payment on an unfamiliar website. Millpay has no separate “temporary card” product — this scenario is built from a regular virtual card, and saying so is more honest than promising a plan that does not exist.

The mechanics are simple: you issue a virtual card, top it up with exactly the amount you need and use it for one task. Anything left over goes back to assets, and the card itself can be swapped for a new one at any time in the web app.

If you need a permanent instrument rather than a one-off, see the overview on the Millpay virtual cards page.

When you need it

A one-off purchase

A payment on a site you do not use regularly: the card holds exactly the purchase amount.

A trial subscription

For a service’s trial period the balance caps whatever can be charged once the trial ends.

A separate budget

A card for one spending category — the rest of your funds stay in assets and never take part in a payment.

Replacing card details

If the details have been exposed somewhere, the active option can be swapped for a new one in the web app.

How it works

  1. Issue

    Issue a virtual card in the web app — Mill Go for $20 or Mill Daily for $45.

  2. Top up for the task

    Add exactly the amount the payment needs, allowing for the 2.5% top-up fee and the transaction fee.

  3. Pay

    Pay by card details with 3-D Secure confirmation, or through a linked mobile wallet.

  4. Return the remainder

    Send unspent funds back with the “Return funds to assets” button.

  5. Swap the card

    Once the task is done, the active option can be replaced with a new one at any time.

How it differs from a regular virtual card

Technically it is the same card — only the way you use it differs.

One-off scenarioOngoing use
Top-upsfor one task’s amountregular, for current spending
Remaining balancereturned to assets after the paymentstays on the card
Usage perioduntil the task is closedno scenario-based limit
Issuance termsthe same: $20 Mill Go / $45 Mill Dailythe same: $20 Mill Go / $45 Mill Daily
Card replacementafter the task is closedas needed

The issue fee is charged at issuance, so opening a new card for every small purchase is not worth it — topping up the existing card for a specific task makes more sense.

Card options

Millpay has no fixed-denomination cards: you set the balance yourself when topping up. The choice is between the two card options.

Limits and the remaining balance

  • You can only pay within the balance — the card does not go negative and provides no credit.
  • The 2.5% top-up fee and the transaction fee are charged separately and should be planned for.
  • The remaining balance does not expire: it is returned to assets in the web app.
  • Service operation limits apply: up to 25 operations a day, up to 300,000 ₽ a day and up to 2,000,000 ₽ a month per user — see limits.
  • Offline payments are available on Mill Daily only, and so is Apple Pay.

Security

Verification at issuance

Before the card is issued you pass identity checks under internal KYC and AML procedures — a requirement for a licensed operator.

3-D Secure on payments

Every payment is confirmed via 3-D Secure, and the confirmation code is requested inside the Millpay web app.

Card details stay with the owner

The number, expiry date and security code are not printed on plastic and are revealed only in your account via the “Show details” button.

A separate balance

The card holds exactly the amount you topped it up with — the rest of your funds stay in assets and are never involved in a payment.

How to get one

  1. Sign up

    Register in the Millpay web app — a phone number is all you need, no installation required.

  2. Verification

    Pass the identity check under KYC procedures. If it is declined, you can go through it again once the reasons are resolved.

  3. Pick an option

    Choose Mill Go or Mill Daily — the issue price is $20 and $45 respectively, charged at issuance.

  4. Issuance and details

    Card details appear in the web app right after the issue fee is paid — there is nothing to wait for.

  5. Top up

    Top up the balance online: the minimum first top-up is $10, the top-up fee is 2.5%. After that the card is ready to pay.

Where it works

  • Websites and apps that accept payment by card details.
  • Digital service subscriptions and one-off online purchases.
  • Foreign online services — more on the paying abroad page.
  • Offline outlets and terminals — on Mill Daily, via a linked mobile wallet.

There is no separate product with a limited validity period. The one-off card scenario is built from a regular virtual card: you top it up for a specific task and return the remainder to assets after paying.

No, Millpay has no fixed-denomination cards. You set the balance yourself when topping up — the minimum first top-up is $10.

Yes, the active card option can be swapped for a new one at any time in the web app.

The same as a regular card: $20 for Mill Go and $45 for Mill Daily, charged at issuance. That is why for small purchases it is cheaper to top up a card you already have than to issue a new one.

You can open both options — Mill Go and Mill Daily, each with its own terms. If you need a different limit, an extra option can be opened at any time.
