«Мир» зайдёт в Китай: возможность оплаты картами и с помощью QR-кодов прорабатывают для россиян

Payment in China will not differ from the usual scheme — a smartphone will be required

In Russia, active work is underway to ensure that citizens can pay in China using QR codes and “Mir” cards. This was announced by the head of VTB, Andrey Kostin.

Here we are currently working on one of the most promising areas, it seems to me, is the use of QR codes, because in China this is practically the number one payment instrument
Andrey Kostin, head of VTB Bank

He noted that the flow of tourists from Russia to China and back continues to grow.

The Chinese have their own card, and we also need to actively work on this. We are moving towards this. There is a need here, and it will produce results.
Andrey Kostin, head of VTB Bank

The operation of QR codes in China with cards from Russian banks will be no different from the usual scheme. It will be done using a smartphone.

Earlier, www1.ru reported that the Russian payment system “Mir” started operating in Myanmar.
