Hello @LuckyStrike and welcome to the Help forums.

It appears there are no Russian banks that support Fitbit Pay.

Here is the link to the bank and transit list.  It might help other users who view your post.

Welcome to the Community @LuckyStrike. As mentioned by @LZeeW currently Fitbit Pay isn't available in Russia. 

We're constantly striving to improve the Fitbit Pay experience, and we are interested in hearing more about the banks you'd like to see on the list of supported banks. Please consider adding your bank to the Fitbit Pay Feature Suggestion board.

Thanks for posting your idea. 😀

Generally Fitbit should consider direct presence in the Russian market. Right now the fitness market in Russia is booming and Garmin is doing fairly well for example. The best bank to add to fitbit pay would be Sberbank, as this is Russia's biggest bank and virtually all Russians have an account there.

Welcome to the Community @abolgari. Your feedback is appreciated, new banks are added based in your feedback. 

I've checked the Feature Suggestions board and found this idea Fitbit Pay (Sberbank) in Russia. You can vote and comment on it to show your support. 

I'll be around if you need further assistance.

Thus, still there is no Russian banks in Fitbit Pat, that's a pity. Can you advise how it can be set up alternatively, e.g. via Revolut, or others apps?

@filmdirectorKir Welcome to the Fitbit Community. 

At the moment, there isn't Fitbit Pay available in Russia. However, you can contact your bank in a private communication or on social media and tell them that you want to use Fitbit Pay to make contactless payments from your Fitbit device. Ask your bank to see www.fitbit.com/fitbit-pay. Note: It’s up to your bank to decide if they want to support Fitbit Pay.

Hope this helps.
