What is remarkable about the MIR payment system?


In 2015, an analogue of the Visa, Mastercard, Paypal, UnionPay payment systems was released in Russia.

Like the rest, MIR has state support, which makes it beneficial for storage and use in Russia.
But also a card issued by the MIR payment system is also possible abroad.

By the way, the name “MIR” and the design, in the form of a globe, with branded blue and green colors, were invented at the All-Russian creative competition.

 

5 advantages of the MIR card.

  1. "MIR" is a social card.
  2. Users can receive significant state and municipal services.
  3. You will not lose money due to the unstable situation in connection with unstable foreign policy events.
  4. Card is available worldwide.
  5. High limits on cash withdrawals, but also each bank can individually limit them. Most popular banks allow you to have a bank card of the MIR payment system.
