Bank pay services in Russia are showing significant growth: at the end of the first half of 2025, the number of users and transaction volumes increased several times compared to last year.
For example, the T-Pay service attracted 9 million customers, and the number of payments through it exceeded 9 million per month. Gazprom Pay increased the number of payments by 92%, and MTS Pay recorded a 25% increase in transactions, with a turnover of more than 32 billion rubles. VTB Pay reached almost 1 million active users in eight months.
Pay services allow you to securely pay for purchases using a smartphone via NFC, replacing card data with tokens. The development of these services helps banks reduce the cost of accepting payments, stimulates customer activity, and strengthens their loyalty.
