CURRENCY AND BANK CARD TRANSACTIONS

Currency exchange

Please pay attention to the features of currency and bank card transactions.

It is not possible to withdraw roubles/foreign currency at an ATM or receive cash at a point of sale using Mastercard or Visa cards issued outside of Russia. These cards can also not be used for the payment of goods and services in Russia.
Only cash in US dollars or euros can be freely exchanged for cash in roubles in most banks in Russia. Some bank offices can exchange Chinese yuan, United Arab Emirates dirham, Turkish lira and cash in other currencies. The exchange rate and addresses can be found here.
For currency exchange operations you must present an identity document. If the exchange exceeds the equivalent of USD 10,000, it must be declared in writing.

Bank cards

Given the existing restrictions on the use of foreign bank cards in Russia, we recommend that you carry sufficient cash for the entire duration of your stay at the Forum.

Mir and UnionPay cards in any currency work without restrictions in Russia. Forum participants are advised, where possible, to apply for a card or bring an existing card from either of these payment systems.

Please note the UnionPay cards are not accepted at all retail outlets. Additionally, failures may occur when using these cards, and transactions may not go through.
