Bank cards issued outside Russia do not work in Russia. Once you cross the border, the convenience you are used to disappears: you are unable to conveniently purchase a cup of coffee, book a taxi, or purchase a ticket to a museum. You need to look for a currency exchange bureau, carry cash with you, and cut back on impulse purchases.
The solution is PayInRussia. This service helps visitors from other countries to make payments for products and services in Russia through their smartphones. You can manage without cash or visit a bank branch.
What can be paid for?
cab rides and courier deliveries;
hotels and airline tickets;
cafes and dining establishments;
stores and shopping malls;
museum and event tickets;
orders from Russian online stores and marketplaces.
How does the service work?
Create your account before traveling while you are still in your home country. To complete the registration:
use your phone to scan your passport;
take a photo of yourself;
complete a quick identity verification process. Your personal details is detected automatically, and you do not need to receive text messages on a Russian phone number.
Deposit money into your account using a card issued by a foreign bank or a supported international payment service before you arrive in Russia.
Use the service to pay for purchases:
In physical locations: scan the checkout QR code. An internet connection via Wi-Fi or mobile data is necessary.
Online: pay in online stores and book hotels and tickets directly through the app.
