This service for foreign tourists will also operate in popular tourism countries such as Türkiye, Egypt and the Maldives.
The system will allow foreigners to make payments using Visa and Mastercard cards in Russia and use the Mir card abroad. The BRICS Pay app will soon be available for download from the App Store and Google Play.
They plan to expand the service to Russian users in 2025, which will allow them to make payments in tourist countries.
In addition, the system will be able to use funds abroad for migrant workers and their families who can load cards in Russian banks.
