Some foreign services choose hotels and purchase air tickets, and have established the process of paying with Visa and Mastercard cards in Russian banks.
One such service is Chinese Trip.com. It now even supports Mir and UnionPay cards.
In addition, cards were accepted in the Expedia service and on the City.Travel portal, registered in the UAE. The first accepts only Visa or Mastercard, and the second – any.
Experts believe that such changes have become possible due to the possibility of credit institutions and payment services from Russia or banks from export countries that have accounts with the Central Bank of the Russian Federation and interact with the Russian financial system. [Известия]
