A cashless payment service for foreigners, BRICS Pay, may appear in Russia. It will allow you to pay for purchases with Visa and Mastercard cards in Russia.
By the end of the year, the system will be launched in Russia to provide our foreign guests with the opportunity to pay cashless, with further scaling on a voluntary basis.
Residents of all countries will be able to use the new service. Its work will not be limited to Russia and the BRICS countries.
In the future, BRICS Pay will allow Russians to pay for purchases with MIR cards in other countries. First of all, we are talking about Turkey, Egypt, Sri Lanka and the Maldives.
Earlier www1.ru reported that Russia will start using digital currency for international payments.
