Armenia to stop servicing Russia's Mir payment cards by April
Published on: Tuesday 19 March 2024
Armenian banks will stop servicing Russia's Mir payment cards from March 30, Russia's National Card Payment System (NSPK) said on Tuesday, creating possible spending headaches for Russians living or travelling in Armenia. Mir payment cards, Moscow's alternative to Visa and Mastercard, have become more important since those U.S. rivals suspended operations in Russia over the conflict in Ukraine and their cards issued in Russia stopped working abroad.
