Foreign-issued bank cards are not accepted in Russia. As soon as you enter the country, the everyday convenience you normally enjoy becomes inaccessible: you can no longer easily purchase a cup of coffee, request a cab, or buy a museum ticket. You are forced to find a currency exchange office, carry cash with you, and avoid unplanned spending.

The answer to this problem is PayInRussia. This service enables international tourists to pay for goods and services in Russia through their smartphones. You do not need cash or need to go to a bank.

Which purchases and services can you pay for?

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

How can you use it?

Register before your trip while you are still at home. To complete the registration:

• 
  
• upload a scan of your passport;
  
• take a selfie;
  
• complete a brief identity check. Your information is processed automatically, and you do not need to receive text messages on a Russian phone number.
  

Add funds to your balance using a bank card issued outside Russia or a payment service available in a supported country prior to your arrival in Russia.

Pay for your purchases:

• 
  
• In physical locations: scan the checkout QR code. A connection to the internet via a Wi-Fi or cellular network is necessary.
  
• For online payments: make purchases from online shops and reserve accommodation and purchase tickets right in the application.
  

What makes it convenient?

PayInRussia has been designed specifically for international tourists:

• 
  
• you do not have to become a resident of the Russian Federation;
  
• you do not need to open a bank account in Russia;
  
• you can avoid visiting bank offices or currency exchange bureaus;
  
• you can register and top up your balance in advance of your journey;
  
• you can easily pay for purchases with your mobile phone;
  
• the service is convenient for short visits as well as longer stays.
  

How do you get started? Get started in three easy steps:

1. 
   
2. Install the application to your smartphone.
   
3. Fund your account using an international bank card.
   
4. Pay for purchases in Russia: open the app, tap the QR code icon, and use your camera to scan the code at the payment terminal. The money will be withdrawn from your balance instantly.
