PayQR - free banking application for mobile phones that allows paying for purchases from bank cards through QR-codes scanning. QR-codes are placed on any paper and electronic media in retails stores, restaurants and e-shops. To make payment with PayQR the buyer only need to open the application and point phone’s camera at a special QR-code. The only thing left is to choose the bank card on the phone duiplay and confirm transaction. If required, the buyer may provide a store with additional information for the order delivery – for example, name, telephone and address. PayQR allows shortening time for purchase by 60 times as well as essentially simplifies purchase processes and increases its security level. Barriers for development of wire payment in Russia connected with fraud, by virtue of essentially other level of bank card details security are vanished (card details shall not be filled at web-sites, cards shall not be given to cashiers and waiters). E-shops increase conversion to successful purchase by 30% at the account of conversion pipeline, dunning systems of "left baskets" and increasing in payment activity of the buyers. The retail stores reduce queues by 6% and HoReCa releases waiter from participation in settlement that allows saving 20 min of the visitor’s time and allows waiters serving better and more other tables.
