Foreign-issued bank cards are not accepted in Russia. As soon as you enter the country, the convenience you are used to becomes inaccessible: you cannot simply purchase a cup of coffee, order a taxi, or purchase a ticket to a museum. You are forced to find a currency exchange office, bring physical money with you, and limit spontaneous purchases.

The answer to this problem is PayInRussia. https://payinrussia.com/ The platform enables international tourists to pay for purchases and services in Russia using their smartphones. You can manage without cash or need to go to a bank.

What can be paid for?

• 
  
• taxi trips and delivery services;
  
• hotels and airline tickets;
  
• cafes and dining establishments;
  
• stores and shopping malls;
  
• admission to museums and various events;
  
• purchases from Russian e-commerce stores and marketplaces.
  

How does it work?

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

• 
  
• scan your passport;
  
• take a photo of yourself;
  
• go through a fast identity verification procedure. Your document data is detected automatically, and no text messages sent to a Russian phone number are required.
  

Top up your balance using a bank card issued outside Russia or an eligible payment platform operating in a supported country before traveling to Russia.

Use the service to pay for purchases:

• 
  
• Offline: use your phone to scan the QR code at the checkout. An internet connection via a Wi-Fi or cellular network must be available.
  
• For online payments: pay for orders in e-commerce stores and book hotels and tickets right in the application.
