The first transactions by cards of the Russian payment system "Mir" were carried out in the United Arab Emirates, according to a press release of the system.
"The first test transactions on Russian payment cards were carried out in Dubai (United Arab Emirates, UAE) within the framework of the implementation of an exclusive cooperation agreement between the "Mir" payment system and Network International, a leading company in digital commerce in the Middle East and Africa," the statement said.
In the future, this company will continue to work on connecting its partners, trade and service enterprises in the UAE, to accept "Mir" cards.
In addition to Russia, "Mir" cards are accepted in other countries of the Eurasian Economic Union (EEU) - Armenia, Belarus, Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan, as well as in Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Turkey and Vietnam.
