Bank cards issued outside Russia cannot be used in Russia. As soon as you enter the country, the everyday convenience you normally enjoy disappears: you can no longer easily purchase a cup of coffee, order a taxi, or buy a museum ticket. You are forced to search for a place to exchange money, bring physical money with you, and avoid unplanned spending.

The solution is PayInRussia. This service helps foreign travelers to pay for goods and services in Russia with their mobile phones. You can manage without cash or visit a bank branch.

What can you pay for?

• 
  
• taxi trips and delivery services;
  
• accommodation and flight tickets;
  
• cafés and restaurants;
  
• shops and shopping centers;
  
• admission to museums and various events;
  
• orders from Russian online stores and marketplaces.
  

How can you use it?

Sign up before your journey while you are still in your home country. To complete the registration:

• 
  
• scan your passport;
  
• take a selfie;
  
• complete a quick identity verification process. Your information is processed automatically, and SMS verification through a Russian phone number is not required.
  

Add funds to your balance using a card issued by a foreign bank or an eligible payment platform operating in a supported country prior to your arrival in Russia.
