About Me

Bank cards issued outside Russia cannot be used in Russia. Once you cross the border, the convenience you are used to is no longer available: you cannot simply purchase a cup of coffee, request a cab, or buy a museum ticket. You are forced to find a currency exchange office, bring physical money with you, and limit spontaneous purchases.

A convenient solution is PayInRussia. This payment service enables foreign travelers to pay for purchases and services in Russia with their mobile phones. You do not need cash or visit a bank branch.

What can be paid for?

cab rides and courier deliveries;
accommodation and flight tickets;
cafes and dining establishments;
stores and shopping malls;
tickets to museums and events;
orders from Russian online stores and marketplaces.

How does it work?

Register before your trip while you are still in your home country. To get started:

use your phone to scan your passport;
take a photo of yourself;
go through a fast identity verification procedure. Your document data is detected automatically, and SMS verification through a Russian phone number is not required.

Deposit money into your account using a foreign-issued bank card or a payment service available in a supported country before traveling to Russia.

Use the service to pay for purchases:

Offline: scan the QR code at the checkout. A connection to the internet via a Wi-Fi or cellular network must be available.
For online payments: pay in online stores and book hotels and tickets straight from the mobile app.

What makes it convenient?

PayInRussia was developed with overseas visitors in mind:

you do not have to become a resident of the Russian Federation;
you do not need to open an account with a Russian bank;
you are not required to go to bank branches or currency exchange offices;
you can register and top up your balance in advance of your journey;
you can make convenient payments through your smartphone;
the service is convenient for both brief and long-term journeys.

How do you get started? Just follow three simple steps:

Get the mobile app on your smartphone.
Fund your account using a bank card issued abroad.
Use the service to pay for purchases while in Russia: launch the application, select the QR code symbol, and scan the checkout QR code. https://payinrussia.com - http://bgmhero.awooltech.com/bbs/board.php?bo_table=free&wr_id=3851881 - http://bgmhero.awooltech.com/bbs/board.php?bo_table=free&wr_id=3851881 The money will be deducted from your balance immediately.
