Foreign-issued bank cards do not work in Russia. As soon as you enter the country, the everyday convenience you normally enjoy becomes inaccessible: you are unable to conveniently pay for coffee, book a taxi, or get admission to a museum. You have to look for a currency exchange bureau, keep cash on hand, and limit spontaneous purchases.



The solution is PayInRussia. This payment service allows foreign travelers to pay for goods and services in Russia with their mobile phones. You do not need cash or have to visit a bank.


What can you pay for?


cab rides and courier deliveries;
hotel stays and plane tickets;
coffee shops and restaurants;
retail outlets and shopping centers;
museum and event tickets;
orders from Russian online stores and marketplaces.


How can you use it?


Create your account before traveling while you are still in your home country. To get started:



upload a scan of your passport;
take a photo of yourself;
complete a quick identity verification process. Your document data is recognized automatically, and no text messages sent to a Russian phone number are required.



Add funds to your balance using a foreign-issued bank card or a payment service available in a supported country before you arrive in Russia.


Make payments for your purchases:


At physical points of sale: scan the QR code at the checkout. An internet connection via Wi-Fi or a mobile network must be available.
Online: make purchases from online shops and book hotels and tickets straight from the mobile app.
