Analysts told Russians in which countries they can pay with the Mir card
It has become known in which countries cards of the Russian payment system “Mir” continue to be accepted.
In 10 countries, holders of such cards can make cashless payments.
Mir cards are accepted in Abkhazia, Azerbaijan, Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, Venezuela, South Ossetia, Cuba and Vietnam, RIA Novosti reports.
Analysts also note that the Chinese national analogue of UnionPay has wide opportunities. You can pay with such a card in 154 countries, including the Russian Federation.
But tourists are advised not to rely solely on non-cash payments. In the context of sanctions, cash is a more reliable option in this context.
The conditions of foreign banks working with Russian cards are constantly changing. Sometimes for the worse, sometimes for the better.
It is difficult for analysts to predict the situation in this area, so cash for tourists will become insurance against various force majeure events.
For reference
"Mir" is a Russian national payment system that provides payment transaction services and issues bank cards.
