Bank cards issued outside Russia are not accepted in Russia. As soon as you enter the country, the convenience you are used to disappears: you cannot simply pay for coffee, request a cab, or get admission to a museum. You are forced to find a currency exchange office, keep cash on hand, 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 be paid for?

• 
  
• taxi trips and delivery services;
  
• hotels and airline tickets;
  
• cafes and dining establishments;
  
• shops and shopping centers;
  
• tickets to museums and events;
  
• orders from Russian online stores and marketplaces.
  

How does the service work?

Register before your trip while you are still at home. https://payinrussia.com To get started:

• 
  
• scan your passport;
  
• take a photo of yourself;
  
• complete a quick identity verification process. Your document data is detected 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.

Use the service to pay for purchases:

• 
  
• In physical locations: scan the QR code at the checkout. Internet access via Wi-Fi or mobile data is necessary.
  
• For online payments: make purchases from online shops and book hotels and tickets right in the application.
