Electronic money is becoming more common for Russians. Today, such currency can pay for goods and services, travel, airline tickets.
Despite the seeming abundance of payment systems offering electronic means of payment in Russia, there are five of the most reliable. It was they who entered today's rating of the most popular electronic payment systems.
5. PayPal
This is one of the oldest electronic payment systems, founded in 1998. Since 2002, PayPal is part of the largest eBay online auction.
The main advantage of PayPal is the internationality of the system, it is represented in 190 countries of the world, it works with 24 currencies. The system is indispensable for payments in foreign online stores, as well as in virtual auctions. A minus can be considered the fact that you need to attach a bank card to your account, however, its details are not displayed when paying.
4. "[email protected]"
Not the most popular, but well-known payment system in Russia, is the brainchild of Mail.ru. Electronic money in the system is exclusively Russian rubles.
You can replenish your wallet by bank transfer, and you can pay for goods and services in Russian online stores with Mail-money.
3. Visa QIWI Wallet
You can replenish a QIWI wallet in many different ways - both through special terminals and through transfers. The wallet account is tied to a virtual or real Visa card.
Access to the QIWI-wallet can be obtained through the terminal, the site of the payment system or a special application for a smartphone, as well as by SMS commands.
2. Webmoney
The system is multicurrency, which means that you can have a Webmoney wallet, for example, in dollars (WMZ) or in euros (WME).
The disadvantage of the system is a rather complicated registration system, but it is Webmoney that provides a high level of security that virtually eliminates the breaking of an electronic wallet.
1. Yandex.Money
The most popular electronic payment system in Russia. The rating of the service is very high, but the main minus of the system is its orientation to Russian users, i.e. You won’t be able to pay for goods in foreign stores using Yandex.Money; the system uses only the Russian ruble. However, Russian online stores are happy to accept this particular electronic currency.
In addition, Yandex electronic wallet is easy to manage, and you can replenish it with a simple transfer from an individual.
