5-6 new countries will be added this year
Cards of the Mir payment system will be supported in several new countries already this year, as reported by Alla Bakina, director of the department of the national payment system of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation.
We are working on expanding the list of countries where the Mir card would be accepted. We plan to bring Mir cards to five or six new countries in 2023. There are states that are afraid of secondary measures and listen to the sanctions policy, but some are ready to cooperate, which they are not afraid to talk about.
Mir cards are gaining popularity: the list of countries will expand
Recently, it became possible to use Mir cards in Cuba: “We are following the plan with them: this summer the cards will work in the entire POS-terminal network of Cuba. We are confident that it will be convenient for our tourists.”
On June 15, President of the Central Bank of the South American country Calixto Jose Ortega Sanchez announced the launch of the Mir system in Venezuela. Mir cards are also accepted in Abkhazia, Armenia, Belarus, Vietnam, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, South Korea and South Ossetia.
