Cards issued by foreign banks cannot be used in Russia. Once you cross the border, your usual payment convenience becomes inaccessible: you are unable to conveniently pay for your coffee, request a cab, or get admission to a museum. You need to search for a place to exchange money, bring physical money with you, and cut back on impulse purchases.

The solution is PayInRussia. This payment service helps visitors from other countries to pay for purchases and services in Russia through their smartphones. You do not need cash or need to go to a bank.

What can be paid for?

• 
  
• cab rides and courier deliveries;
  
• hotels and airline tickets;
  
• coffee shops and restaurants;
  
• stores and shopping malls;
  
• tickets to museums and events;
  
• orders from Russian online stores and marketplaces.
  

How can you use it?

Create your account before traveling while you are still at home. To complete the registration:

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

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

Pay for your purchases:

• 
  
• In physical locations: scan the checkout QR code. A connection to the internet via Wi-Fi or mobile data must be available.
  
• For online payments: make purchases from online shops and reserve accommodation and purchase tickets straight from the mobile app.
  

What makes it convenient?

PayInRussia has been designed especially for foreign travelers:

• 
  
• you do not have to become a resident of Russia;
  
• you do not need to open an account at a Russian bank;
  
• you are not required to go to banks or foreign exchange offices;
  
• you can sign up and fund your balance before you travel;
  
• you can easily pay for purchases with your mobile phone;
  
• the service is suitable for short visits as well as longer stays.
  

How can you start using the service? Just follow three simple steps:

1. 
   
2. Install the application on your smartphone.
   
3. Add money to your balance using an international bank card.
   
4. Use the service to pay for purchases while in Russia: launch the application, select the QR code symbol, and scan the code at the checkout. The money will be withdrawn from your balance instantly.
