7 Mir debit cards with free service
Miscellaneous / / March 24, 2022
After the termination of Visa and Mastercard in Russia, we have to look for other options.
Previously, the cards of the national payment system "Mir" were not popular. They were more often issued by those who are entitled to some kind of payments from the state: allowances, pensions, salaries in state institutions, and so on. It was impossible to receive budget money for other cards.
Visa and Mastercard stopped working in Russia: cards issued within the country do not work abroad; issued abroad do not work in the country. The Mir card can be used to pay in Russia and 10 other countries: Turkey, Vietnam, Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, South Ossetia and Abkhazia. Note that for Android users, the payment system has its own application - Mir Pay.
Therefore, many think about the design World cards. We have collected the most attractive offers from big banksBank ratings / Banki.ru. The following criteria were used for evaluation:
- Cost of service - the list contains cards with a free option (but sometimes there are nuances).
- Reward system - is there a cashback or bonuses and how convenient everything is arranged, is there a percentage of the account balance and what. At the same time, it is worth remembering that the national payment system "Mir" itself provides bonuses regardless of bank.
- Conditions under which you can withdraw money.
Please note: All figures are correct at the time of publication. Banks can change the conditions, so check the data when applying for a card.

If none of the conditions is met, then 99 rubles per month.

There is no dramatic difference between it and the regular fare. Just interest on the balance will be charged only in the amount of 100 to 300 thousand rubles.
