Bank cards issued outside Russia do not work in Russia. Once you cross the border, the convenience you are used to is no longer available: you can no longer easily pay for coffee, request a cab, or buy a museum ticket. You need to look for a currency exchange bureau, keep cash on hand, and cut back on impulse purchases.

The solution is PayInRussia. This payment service allows international tourists to pay for goods and services in Russia through their smartphones. You can manage without cash or visit a bank branch.

Which purchases and services can you pay for?

• 
  
• cab rides and courier deliveries;
  
• hotels and airline tickets;
  
• cafes and dining establishments;
  
• retail outlets and shopping centers;
  
• tickets to museums and events;
  
• purchases from Russian e-commerce stores and marketplaces.
  

How does the service work?

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

• 
  
• upload a scan of your passport;
  
• capture a selfie;
  
• go through a fast identity verification procedure. Your personal details is detected automatically, and you do not need to receive text messages on a Russian phone number.
  

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

Pay for your purchases:

• 
  
• Offline: scan the checkout QR code. An internet connection via a Wi-Fi or cellular network is required.
  
• Online: make purchases from online shops and make hotel reservations and buy tickets directly through the app.
  

Why is the service so useful?

PayInRussia has been designed specifically for international tourists:

• 
  
• you do not need to be a Russian resident;
  
• you are not required to open an account with a Russian bank;
  
• you do not have to visit banks or foreign exchange offices;
  
• you can sign up and fund your balance before you travel;
  
• you can make convenient payments with your mobile phone;
  
• the service is ideal for both brief and long-term journeys.
  

How do you get started? It only takes three straightforward steps:

1. 
   
2. Install the application on your mobile phone.
   
3. Fund your account using a bank card issued abroad.
   
4. Make payments for goods and services in Russia: launch the application, tap the QR code icon, and scan the checkout QR code. The money will be withdrawn from your balance instantly.
