Bank cards issued outside Russia are not accepted in Russia. Once you cross the border, the everyday convenience you normally enjoy disappears: you cannot simply pay for your coffee, request a cab, or buy a museum ticket. You need to find a currency exchange office, bring physical money with you, and avoid unplanned spending.



The solution is PayInRussia. The platform allows visitors from other countries to make payments for products and services in Russia using their smartphones. You do not need cash or have to visit a bank.


What can you pay for?


taxi trips and delivery services;
hotels and airline tickets;
coffee shops and restaurants;
stores and shopping malls;
admission to museums and various events;
orders placed with Russian online retailers and marketplaces.


How can you use it?


Sign up before your journey while you are in your country of residence. To get started:



scan your passport;
