Cardpay aims to roll out “Mir” card acceptance in e-commerce on all 4 continents by the end of 2020.

Cardpay, the award-winning global payments acquirer, has become the first direct member of Russia’s payment system “Mir” in Asia, Latin America, Europe and Northern America.

”Mir”, one of the youngest and fastest-growing payment systems, was launched five years ago. In this period the acceptance of “Mir” cards was achieved all around Russia, as well as in 8 foreign countries.

This collaboration will enable the acceptance of “Mir” cards in e-commerce for Cardpay clients worldwide, allowing them to offer a higher level of service for their customers and giving them the opportunity to explore the potential of the Russian market. It will also provide Mir cardholders with the opportunity to shop with millions of online international merchants.

We are on a mission to enable fast, convenient and secure payments for businesses worldwide and partnering with “Mir” has taken us one step closer to our goal.” - commented Cardpay’s head of e-commerce & card operations Vitalii Merkulov.
