Kyrgyzstan to Halt Operations of Russian Mir Payment System Cards

The Russian Mir payment system cards will cease operations in Kyrgyzstan starting April 5 due to sanctions imposed by the United States. This information was provided by the operator of the Elcart national payment system.

The decision is linked to the imposition of U.S. sanctions against the Mir card operator, the National Payment Card System. Consequently, Elcart cards will also stop functioning in Russia, according to Rbc.

It is noteworthy that from March 30, most Armenian banks have stopped accepting Russian Mir cards.
