Modern payment market is considered in conjunction with the financial technology market. The objective of the research is to justify the development trends of the Russian payment services market. The study applied general methodological scientific principles (the unity of theory and practice, the objectivity, the complexity), as well as the systematic approach in assessing the holistic picture of the money circulation current state and the payment market in the context of digital innovation trends. The consumer payment services market in Russia analysis showed the tendencies towards the separation of cards’ contact and contactless segments, as well as the restructuring of the market offer in favor of national issuers, the deregistration of the cash flow and substituting the traditional services with the innovative ones. Card payment instruments are a growing segment of the payment market both in Russia and in the Volgograd region.
