Central Bank of Russia: issuance of MIR system cards grew by 60% in 2022

She said this at the annual meeting of credit institutions with the Central Bank, organized by the Association of Banks of Russia.

“If we talk about numbers, then the MIR card now is 182 million issued cards.

I must say that it was mostly organic growth, because we kept the processing of cards of international payment systems in the country.

We did this on purpose so that customers would not have a shock with a possible abrupt transition to the National Payment System, ”TASS quotes her.

Earlier, Indonesian Ambassador to Russia Jose Antonio Morato Tavares said that Indonesia is in the process of considering the option of using cards of the Russian payment system MIR on its territory.
