Does a Visa/MasterCard issued by a non-Russian bank work via Samsung Pay in Russia?

score:3

Country of device (=Region code) doesn't matter. Samsung Pay itself will work with non-Russian VISA/MC cards but terminals will refuse such transactions. Yes, I tested this.

There is one exception: fully offline payments like public transit - they attempt to charge card later, fail to do so and sometimes ban card until this is clarified (this also happens with Russian-bank issued Mir cards if they don't have funds,etc).

From personal experience, Apple Pay and foreign Mastercard/VISA credit cards don't work in Russia currently.

The same is probably true for Samsung Pay. You'd either need a Russian bank card/account or cash.

(Curiously enough, Moscow metro turnstiles recognize Apple Pay payments as valid, but seem to not charge anything.)
