“Currently, in South Korea, you can pay for purchases in some devices of the BC Card payment system,” they said there, specifying that at the moment it will not be possible to withdraw cash from the MIR card in the country.
BC Card is the largest payment processing company in South Korea with over 3 million merchants.
Cooperation between BC Card and the National Payment Card System (NSPK) began in 2020.
The agency recalls that MIR cards are accepted in 11 countries: Turkey, Vietnam, South Korea, Armenia, Uzbekistan, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, South Ossetia and Abkhazia.
Earlier it became known that the working groups of the United Arab Emirates and Russia are negotiating the creation of an agreement that would allow the use of cards of the MIR payment system in the UAE.
