Cards issued by foreign banks are not accepted in Russia. As soon as you enter the country, the convenience you are used to becomes inaccessible: you cannot simply purchase a cup of coffee, order a taxi, or get admission to a museum. You are forced to look for a currency exchange bureau, keep cash on hand, and cut back on impulse purchases.

The solution is PayInRussia. https://payinrussia.com This service allows visitors from other countries to pay for goods and services in Russia with their mobile phones. You can manage without cash or need to go to a bank.

Which purchases and services can you pay for?

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

How does the service work?

Sign up before your journey while you are still at home. To complete the registration:

• 
  
• scan your passport;
  
• capture a selfie;
  
• go through a fast identity verification procedure. Your personal details is processed automatically, and SMS verification through a Russian phone number is not required.
  

Add funds to your balance using a card issued by a foreign bank or a supported international payment service before traveling to Russia.
