This was reported by RBC with reference to a technology bulletin that Mir sent out to banks.
“In order to minimize the risk of dubious money transfers ... a ban is introduced on cross-border transactions to replenish electronic wallets,” the text says.
The National Payment Card System (NSPK) stated that such actions are aimed at reducing "high-risk transactions using national payment instruments."
Earlier it became known that the MIR system will start working on Apple devices for cashless payments through Apple mobile wallets.
