Cards issued by foreign banks are not accepted in Russia. As soon as you enter the country, your usual payment convenience is no longer available: you are unable to conveniently purchase a cup of coffee, request a cab, or get admission to a museum. You have to find a currency exchange office, keep cash on hand, and avoid unplanned spending.

A convenient solution is PayInRussia. This payment service enables visitors from other countries to pay for goods and services in Russia through their smartphones. You do not have to carry cash or need to go to a bank.

Which purchases and services can you pay for?

• 
  
• cab rides and courier deliveries;
  
• accommodation and flight tickets;
  
• cafés and restaurants;
  
• shops and shopping centers;
  
• tickets to museums and events;
  
• purchases from Russian e-commerce stores and marketplaces.
  

How does it work?

Sign up before your journey while you are in your country of residence. To do this:

• 
  
• use your phone to scan your passport;
  
• take a photo of yourself;
  
• complete a quick identity verification process. Your document data is detected automatically, and you do not need to receive text messages on a Russian phone number.
  

Add funds to your balance using a card issued by a foreign bank or a supported international payment service prior to your arrival in Russia.

Use the service to pay for purchases:

• 
  
• In physical locations: use your phone to scan the QR code at the checkout. An internet connection via Wi-Fi or a mobile network is required.
  
• For online payments: make purchases from online shops and reserve accommodation and purchase tickets right in the application.

PayInRussia was developed especially for foreign travelers:

• 
  
• you are not required to be a resident of Russia;
  
• you are not required to open an account with a Russian bank;

• you can register and top up your balance before you travel;
  
• you can make convenient payments with your mobile phone;
  
• the service is suitable for short visits as well as longer stays.
  

How can you start using the service? Get started in three easy steps:

1. 
   
2. Download the app to your smartphone.
   
3. Add money to your balance using an internationally issued bank card.
