Foreign-issued bank cards do not work in Russia. https://payinrussia.com/ After you cross the Russian border, the convenience you are used to is no longer available: you can no longer easily pay for your coffee, order a taxi, or get admission to a museum. You are forced to search for a place to exchange money, keep cash on hand, and avoid unplanned spending.

A convenient solution is PayInRussia. This payment service helps visitors from other countries to pay for purchases and services in Russia with their mobile phones. You do not have to carry cash or have to visit a bank.

What can be paid for?

• 
  
• taxi rides and delivery services;
  
• accommodation and flight tickets;
  
• cafés and restaurants;
  
• retail outlets and shopping centers;
  
• tickets to museums and events;
  
• orders from Russian online stores and marketplaces.
  

How does it work?

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

• 
  
• upload a scan of your passport;
  
• take a selfie;
  
• complete a brief identity check. Your personal details is detected automatically, and you do not need to receive text messages on a Russian phone number.
  

Top up your balance using a foreign-issued bank card or a payment service available in a supported country before you arrive in Russia.

Use the service to pay for purchases:

• 
  
• At physical points of sale: scan the checkout QR code. A connection to the internet via Wi-Fi or a mobile network is necessary.
  
• Online: pay in online stores and book hotels and tickets right in the application.
