About
Yandex Pay is the payment service of Russian tech group Yandex, launched in March 2021 as a one-click online checkout to which buyers link their bank cards. At a shop's checkout the buyer pays with a linked card, or chooses Yandex Split to pay in instalments. Since September 2023 the app also pays in stores: by NFC with Mir cards on Android, and by QR code on iOS. That filled part of the gap left when Apple Pay, Google Pay and Samsung Pay stopped working in Russia in 2022. The service is run by OOO Financial and Payment Technologies, with accounts and cards provided by Yandex's financial organisation.
