Foreign-issued bank cards do not work in Russia. Once you cross the border, your usual payment convenience disappears: 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, carry cash with you, and cut back on impulse purchases.



The answer to this problem is PayInRussia. This payment service allows foreign travelers to pay for purchases and services in Russia using their smartphones. You do not need cash or need to go to a bank.


What can you pay for?


taxi trips and delivery services;
hotels and airline tickets;
cafes and dining establishments;
shops and shopping centers;
tickets to museums and events;
orders placed with Russian online retailers and marketplaces.


How can you use it?
