Cards issued by foreign banks are not accepted in Russia. Once you cross the border, the convenience you are used to is no longer available: you are unable to conveniently pay for coffee, order a taxi, or buy a museum ticket. You need to look for a currency exchange bureau, keep cash on hand, and avoid unplanned spending.

The answer to this problem is PayInRussia. This payment service helps visitors from other countries to pay for goods and services in Russia using their smartphones. You do not have to carry cash or have to visit a bank.

Which purchases and services can you pay for?

• 
  
• cab rides and courier deliveries;
  
• hotels and airline tickets;
  
• cafés and restaurants;
  
• stores and shopping malls;
  
• museum and event tickets;
  
• orders placed with Russian online retailers and marketplaces.
  

How does the service work?

Create your account before traveling while you are in your country of residence. To do this:

• 
  
• scan your passport;
  
• capture a selfie;
  
• complete a quick identity verification process. Your information is recognized automatically, and no text messages sent to a Russian phone number are required.
  

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