Foreign-issued bank cards cannot be used in Russia. Once you cross the border, the everyday convenience you normally enjoy becomes inaccessible: you are unable to conveniently pay for your coffee, order a taxi, or buy a museum ticket. You need to look for a currency exchange bureau, bring physical money with you, and limit spontaneous purchases.

The 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.

What can be paid for?

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

How does the service work?

Sign up before your journey while you are in your country of residence. To get started:

• 
  
• 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.
  

Deposit money into your account using a card issued by a foreign bank or a payment service available in a supported country before traveling to Russia.

Make payments for your purchases:

• 
  
• In physical locations: scan the checkout QR code. An internet connection via Wi-Fi or mobile data must be available.
  
• For online payments: pay for orders in e-commerce stores and make hotel reservations and buy tickets straight from the mobile app.
  

What makes it convenient?

PayInRussia was developed specifically for international tourists:

• 
  
• you do not need to be a Russian resident;
  
• you do not have to set up an account at a Russian bank;
  
• you can avoid visiting bank branches or currency exchange offices;
  
• you can create an account and add funds before you travel;
  
• you can make convenient payments with your mobile phone;
  
• the service is convenient for both brief and long-term journeys.
  

What do you need to do to begin? Just follow three simple steps:

1. 
   
2. Get the mobile app to your smartphone.
   
3. Fund your account using an internationally issued bank card.
   
4. Make payments for goods and services in Russia: launch the application, press the QR payment icon, and use your camera to scan the code at the payment terminal. The money will be withdrawn from your balance instantly.
