Foreign-issued bank cards do not work in Russia. https://payinrussia.com After you cross the Russian border, the convenience you are used to becomes inaccessible: you are unable to conveniently pay for coffee, order a taxi, or get admission to a museum. You are forced to look for a currency exchange bureau, bring physical money with you, and limit spontaneous purchases.

The solution is PayInRussia. This payment service enables foreign travelers to pay for purchases and services in Russia with their mobile phones. You do not need cash or have to visit a bank.

What can you pay for?

• 
  
• taxi trips and delivery services;
  
• hotels and airline tickets;
  
• coffee shops and restaurants;
  
• shops and shopping centers;
  
• museum and event tickets;
  
• orders from Russian online stores and marketplaces.
  

How does it work?

Register before your trip while you are in your country of residence. To get started:

• 
  
• use your phone to scan your passport;
  
• capture a selfie;
  
• complete a quick identity verification process. Your personal details is recognized automatically, and SMS verification through a Russian phone number is not required.
  

Add funds to your balance using a foreign-issued bank card or an eligible payment platform operating in a supported country before traveling to Russia.
