In Minsk, you can pay for fares by QR code in the M-Belarusbank app

Since 11 November, passengers on Minsk buses, trolleybuses and trams can pay for their fare by QR code through the M-Belarusbank mobile app. This was reported by the official channel of a Belarusian state body. The method is available on all of the city's surface routes; the city has about 1995091 residents.

Payment is made straight from a smartphone. First, you need to find the sticker with the QR code inside the vehicle. Then, in the app, open the "Payments" section, select "Pay by QR code" and point the camera at the code.

After payment, the electronic ticket appears in the app, in the "Journal" or "Recent payments" section. It must be shown to the inspector to confirm payment.

The app belongs to Belarusbank, which was founded in 1922 and is based in Minsk. The bank has 12014 employees. To pay the fare this way, you need this particular bank's app.

In April 2026, a new format of payment by bank card was being introduced on Minsk surface transport. In June 2026, according to reports by private Belarusian outlets, such a system was tested on the first trolleybus route and the first bus route.
