Kyrgyzstan to stop accepting Russian payment cards.

Kyrgyzstan will stop accepting Russia's Mir payment cards from April 5th due to concerns about potential exposure to Western sanctions, according to the country's Interbank Processing Center. The move comes after the US Treasury sanctioned the National Payment Card System, the operator behind the Mir payment card system, in February. Banks in Kyrgyzstan had largely stopped using Mir cards in 2022.
