Most of the users probably, if not encountered, then at least heard about the service YuMoney (former Yandex.Money). It was launched in 2002 and has managed to occupy its own niche for all the time it has been in operation, becoming one of the leaders among electronic payment systems. It is with the help of this service that you can EASILY cope with the purchase of content.

It is also worth noting that the YuMoney administration, together with Apple, conducts frequent promotions – when replenishing the Apple ID account to the user 15% of the payment amount is credited free of charge…
