X5ID SMS Verification

One account for Pyaterochka, Perekrestok and X5 Club: receive your X5ID SMS verification code without a Russian SIM and sign in across the group's apps.

X5ID is the shared customer account of Russian grocery retailer X5 Group, which runs the Pyaterochka, Perekrestok and Chizhik chains and uses it for sign-in across its apps and online services. Creating one needs only a phone number and consent to data processing, and because the number is the account's identity, logins are confirmed with an SMS code.

With a virtual number you enter the temporary number on the X5ID screen and type in the code; name, birth date and e-mail can be added later, and linking a card is optional. It is handy for ordering for relatives in Russia, browsing the chains' apps and prices, or keeping a shopping account apart from your personal number.

In X5ID the number is both username and key, so X5 Club points collected on an account tied to a temporary number may become unreachable once that number is gone. If you plan to collect points or save a card, use a number you will keep, and never share the SMS code, even with someone claiming to be store staff.
