Using Russian E‑Wallets with a Foreign Phone Number

Some e‑wallet services, for example Qiwi, allow registration with a non‑Russian phone number. Users receive an SMS verification code and can add foreign bank cards for top‑ups. The e‑wallet can then be used for online gaming, ticket purchases, and peer‑to‑peer transfers. Withdrawal to a foreign bank is limited, so most users keep funds within the wallet. Daily transaction limits apply based on verification level.
