Foreign-issued bank cards do not work in Russia. After you cross the Russian border, your usual payment convenience becomes inaccessible: you cannot simply pay for your coffee, book a taxi, or purchase a ticket to a museum. You are forced to find a currency exchange office, carry cash with you, and limit spontaneous purchases.

The answer to this problem is PayInRussia. This payment service helps international tourists to pay for purchases and services in Russia with their mobile phones. You do not have to carry cash or need to go to a bank.
