Azimuth, a company within Rostec, in collaboration with Social Systems LLC, has developed and certified the domestic VSAM-01 contactless bank card reader.
The device can be used for payments in stores, vending machines, and banks. VSAM-01 can also be used in urban transport. The reader has no problems updating the software to meet the new requirements of the Central Bank and the Mir national payment system.
The contactless bank card reader created with our support will reduce the dependence of the contactless payment sector on foreign solutions. All rights to it belong to a Russian company, which guarantees uninterrupted support for the software solution that meets all the requirements of the Central Bank and the Mir national payment system. The device is already actively used in urban transport payment systems in Chechnya, Dagestan, Ingushetia, North Ossetia and the Stavropol Territory. We plan to expand the geography of its application, increasing the production of devices for this purpose by more than ten times. I am sure that the demand for this product will only grow, because VSAM-01 is in no way inferior to foreign analogues, while on average it is 10-15% cheaper.
VSAM-01 has already received the conclusion of the Ministry of Industry and Trade, which allows its production and use on the territory of Russia.
