  • 28.06.2020

No. 1450 dated December 23, 2016. The document implied “compensation for losses in income” that arose from companies due to the release of microcircuits in 2016-2019. As Mikron told CNews, in 2017 the company produced and delivered more than 2 million chip modules for Mir cards. However, as can be seen from the documents, the first money came to her accounts only in 2018.

During that year, the company produced more than 3 million microcircuits. “In 2019, a further increase in the volume of deliveries is planned,” the interlocutors of CNews noted, but they did not predict the amount of compensation money.

Assist: the share of online payments with Mir cards does not exceed 1% yet

In 2017, the number of payments made with the Mir card was actively growing, but their share in the total population does not yet exceed 1%. These are the findings from the Assist study. The Assist group of companies analyzed the statistics of online payments by bank cards for 2017. Data on more than 30 million online payments made by Russian buyers in various online stores and services - clients of Assist were used.

In monetary terms, the share of online payments with Mir cards last year amounted to 0.6%, and in quantitative terms - 0.5%. Compared to 2016, these figures increased by 60 and 125 times, respectively.

Also, less than one percent in total is occupied by payments on cards of payment systems American Express, Diners Club and JCB.

The Ministry of Finance will force not only online trading, but all companies in general to accept Mir cards

Therefore, the Ministry of Finance proposes "to fix the obligation to accept national payment instruments for all business entities that accept payment cards when selling goods (works, services)", citing the conclusion of the Interfax ministry, which was in possession of a copy of the document. The Ministry of Finance believes that this will contribute to the distribution of national payment cards without additional burden on regulatory authorities and costs from sellers.

In addition, the ministry proposes to increase the period for the entry into force of the new rules to 180 days from the date of signing the law and specify their territorial application. The conclusion of the Ministry of Finance on the bill has already been sent for approval to the Ministry of Economic Development, the Ministry of Industry and Trade, the Ministry of Communications, the Ministry of Justice, Rospotrebnadzor, the Federal Antimonopoly Service (FAS) and the Central Bank.

Mir cards were issued to 86% of public sector employees

The transfer of public sector employees to the cards of the national payment system "Mir" is happening at an accelerated pace. Currently, 86% of state employees receive salaries on Mir cards. This was announced in February 2018 by the First Deputy Chairman of the Central Bank Olga Skorobogatova during a meeting of bank leaders “Regulation of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation on the activities of commercial banks”, TASS reports.

Olga Skorobogatova noted that the transfer of state employees to Mir cards is happening at an accelerated pace, since five months before the end of the transition period, 86% of employees of budgetary organizations already have national payment system cards.

The transfer of state employees to Mir cards began in July 2017 and should be completed on July 1, 2018. For pensioners, the transition period will last until July 2020.

2017

26 million cards

By November 2017, the banks participating in the Mir payment system issued more than 26 million cards, which is approximately 10 percent of Russian market. At the same time, public sector employees received 10 million Mir cards. From all state employees receiving today wages non-cash, this is about 45 percent.

In 2018, NSPK expects to increase the volume of issued Mir cards to 54 million, doubling today's figures. At the same time, Mr. Komlev specified that the number of active bank cards today is 19-20 percent.

In general, in terms of transaction turnover, NSPK occupies 6 percent of the Russian market, however, in terms of the number of transactions per active card NSPK overtakes Visa and Mastercard systems. At the same time, more than 80 percent of transactions are accounted for by non-cash transactions. settlement operations, and only about 20 percent of transactions are cash withdrawals from ATMs.

Turnovers on Mir cards are also very impressive. According to Mr. Komlev, over 80 million transactions were made in Mir payment system in October. Similar figures were given a month ago by the director of the National Payment System Department of the Bank of Russia, Alla Bakina. According to the Central Bank of the Russian Federation, the average number of transactions in October was 2.2 million transactions per day with an average volume of transactions per day of 2.9 billion rubles.

Thus, payment cards as such have long become a familiar payment instrument for most Russians. As for the Mir cards directly, Vladimir Komlev outlined the immediate plans of the institution he heads as follows: “Now our task is not to slow down the release rate, but on the other hand, work on the quality of the activation level of these cards and the activity of activated cards.”

One of the areas of work will be the large-scale production of Mir cards equipped with a secure microchip of domestic production. Moreover, not only a completely Russian microcircuit, but also software to it, which guarantees the user the absence of "hidden" (undeclared) functionality. The microcircuit for the Mir cards was developed by the Mikron company by order of the Bank of Russia.

Of the 26 million Mir cards issued, only 1 million cards are equipped with microchips. However, as early as 2018, 5 million such cards may be issued. Of these, 4 million cards will be issued by NSPK Post Bank, a partner. Moreover, the first batch of 400,000 pieces is already being distributed in the bank's offices. In total, the capacities of Mikron allow the production of 13-15 million microchips per year.

Users' interest in Mir cards is dictated not only by patriotism, but also by their additional features. One of them is a loyalty program, within which the cashback reaches 20 percent. Now the program is supported by over 50 banks, and discounts can be obtained at a large network of gas stations, fast food chains and a number of trade and service enterprises. About 100 more will join the program in the coming months. large companies from a wide variety of industries. So far, the program works only in the Moscow region, but in 2018 it will be rolled out to the whole country.

NSPK is interested in the fact that in the future discounts on Mir cards could also be received when paying for housing and communal services and tickets. This fits into the intentions of the NSPK to turn Mir into a universal transport card, which can be used to pay for all types of transport throughout Russia. In this capacity, Mir cards can already be used in Saint Petersburg, Samara and Novosibirsk. NSPK also plans to develop the issuance of student cards and social cards with different functionality.

Another important line of development is the issuance of Mir cards in a co-branded version. A number of banks have issued 600,000 such cards jointly with MasterCard, Japan's JCB and China's UnionPay. NSPK is also negotiating to expand the Mir card acceptance network in those countries where Russians traditionally come on vacation or where quite a lot of Russians live.

Whether the plans of the NSPK will come true is still difficult to say, since payment system Mir is still in its infancy. However, the company's management has chosen the right vector of development, aimed at making the Mir map as accessible, convenient and functional as possible. All payment systems basically work in the same way, so the competitiveness of Mir will depend on how successful the loyalty program will be and, most importantly, how much cheaper the Mir system will be compared to other payment systems.

Issuance of 2 million cards with a Micron chip

On November 20, 2017, a memorandum of cooperation was signed between Post Bank and the National Payment Card System, which provides for the release of the largest batch of Mir cards on the market with the Russian microchip MIK51BC16D manufactured by Mikron.

The first batch of Mir cards with a Russian microchip in the amount of 400,000 pieces has already been sent to the regions where the bank operates. Cards are delivered by the shareholder of Post Bank - Russian Post. It is planned that by the end of the first half of 2018, the bank will issue 2 million Mir cards with a Russian chip, which will allow it to become a key issuer of such cards in the market. In total, in 2018, Post Bank plans to issue more than 4 million Mir cards and increase their issuance by more than three times compared to 2017. Read more.

Medvedev announced plans to integrate payment systems Mir and UnionPay

In October, the average number of transactions with Mir cards amounted to 2.2 million transactions per day, and their average volume was 2.9 billion rubles. in a day. She also said that about 10 million public sector employees switched to Mir cards.

“We have a really good enough pace Translating state employees, we interact with federal authorities executive branch and with regional representatives, as of early October, 9.9 million public sector clients have already been transferred, which is about 45% of public sector employees who currently receive non-cash payments,” she said.

NSPK has developed a loyalty program for Mir cardholders

From mid-October, Mir cardholders will be able to receive cashback and Aeroflot miles as part of new program loyalty of the National Payment Card System (NSPK). SMP Bank will become the first operator of the program. Other major financial institutions will follow.

SMP Bank clarified that national cards under the new loyalty program will be credited with cashback up to 15% of the transaction amount and up to 1.75 miles per transaction (plus 3,000 welcome miles when making premium plastic cards). By the end of the year, SMP-Bank plans to issue several thousand national maps with cashback and accumulation of miles.

The innovation is designed to increase the popularity of Mir cards and increase non-cash turnover in general.

Sberbank starts issuing Mir contactless cards

According to the bank's data as of September 2017, the number of Mir cards issued is 11 million. In the spring of 2017, Sberbank switched the issuance of all classic debit cards to contactless technology. By the end of 2017, all new Sberbank cards, except for instant issuance and electronic cards (Visa Electron, Maestro, Maestro Social), will become contactless.

Putin approved the transfer of state employees to Mir cards

Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a law on the gradual transfer of state employees to the Mir payment system, which the State Duma adopted on April 21 in the third final reading. Earlier, banks sent a letter to the Central Bank of the Russian Federation, in which they complained about the mandatory transfer of all payments from the budget and extra-budgetary public funds for servicing exclusively through cards of the Mir payment system. Naturally, the meaning of the letter was not to cancel this decision, but to get the most favorable conditions for yourself when joining the Mir card service. Let's see how they succeeded.

Initially, it was assumed that banks would have to ensure the acceptance of Mir cards in their network until April 1, 2017 and provide these cards to their state employees until January 1, 2018. Passed law obliges banks to ensure the acceptance of Mir cards in all branches and ATMs until July 1, 2017. From the same date, banks will issue Mir cards to public sector employees applying for opening a new account. Already served public sector clients will receive Mir cards by July 1, 2018, and pensioners by July 1, 2020 (gradually replacing those they use today). That is, compared with the original version of the law, the first term was shifted by three months, and the second by six months.

At the same time, the law retains the ability to receive budgetary payments in cash or to bank accounts that are not linked to cards. However, the government retains the right to establish a list of payments that, in without fail will be transferred to the Mir card.

Trade enterprises with an annual turnover of more than 40 million rubles should start accepting Mir cards from October 1, 2017. Thus, banks have six months to reconfigure payment terminals in outlets.

Among other things, the law signed by the president changed the composition of the participants in the national payment system - now they include foreign banks, including central as well as international financial organizations. In the future, Vnesheconombank is planned to be added to this list. These measures should contribute to the expansion of the service area for Mir cards, as well as to make it possible to issue them abroad.

Transfer of the data center to free software and domestic equipment

For implementation federal projects direct budgetary payments to the accounts of citizens in the Mir payment system has been developed technological platform, which will allow making payments from the treasury to the account of their recipient practically online. Also, non-financial services are being developed on the basis of the card, which will allow integrating transport, social, campus and other applications into plastic. In the autumn of 2017, an interbank loyalty program will be launched, based on the cash-back principle - the return of part Money spent on goods and services. The amount of cash-back will be 10-20% and will be available to all MIR cardholders.

The State Duma approved the transfer of state employees to Mir cards

"In order to ensure individual clients the possibility of receiving cash payments to bank accounts to which payment cards are not issued, it is proposed to provide that after January 1, 2018, all types of cash payments transferred to bank accounts of individual customers are credited by credit institutions to the bank accounts of these customers," the statement says. explanatory note to the bill.

The amendments also provide that the number of participants in the system will include foreign banks and international financial organizations.

2016

Russian banks will issue about 40 million national Mir cards in 2017

Russian banks are planning to issue about 40 million Mir national cards in 2017. This indicator is a necessary minimum that banks must issue to customers, Alma Obayeva, chairman of the board of the National Payment Council, said in the Vedomosti newspaper.

In addition, Aliot, a manufacturer of plastic for national cards, intends to produce about 15 million cards. In turn, Novacard, which issued 2 million cards in 2016, expects a 10-fold increase in production.

The growth in demand for "Mir" is associated with the law, according to which funds from the budget should only come to the accounts to which the card is linked. At the same time, from 2018, transactions with other cards on such accounts will not be possible. In 2017, about 14 trillion rubles will go from the budget to the accounts of citizens.

A single payment area for the CIS countries will be formed on the basis of the Mir card

The resolution on the establishment of a common financial zone was signed in Yerevan in November 2016 by the Commonwealth countries. On the basis of the Mir map, a unified payment space for the CIS countries. This decision was signed in Yerevan in early November 2016. The Vedomosti publication became aware of the principles for organizing the payment space.

Citizens of the CIS countries use international payment cards when making payments, despite the fact that each country has its own national ones. Based on the current situation, the National Payment Card System of Russia (NSPK) aspired to "close" this circle to a lower level by creating a single payment space based on the intersystem integration of national payment cards. At the same time, national payment systems will remain independent: ArCa in Armenia, Belcart in Belarus, Elcart in Kyrgyzstan.

Vladimir Komlev, CEO, Chairman of the Board of the NSPK, spoke about the plans: “We decided to register national cards as our own: that is, for Russian banks, cards, for example, ArCa will be perceived as Mir cards, and in Armenia Mir cards will be perceived like ArCa. Cards of local systems are accepted everywhere within their country, and they all work on the same standards. It is important that when these cards are included in the acceptance network of a particular country, seven more logos are not pasted on the ATM in addition to the existing ones, and the client does not look for a long time whether his card is accepted. We decided that the word "Mir", written in Latin letters, can become a unifying logo and that it can be placed on devices in other countries, while in Russia it is very difficult to place stickers of national systems of other countries on 1.6 million terminals and 200,000 ATMs due to scale. With Armenia, the project should be implemented on all ATMs and some POS terminals by July 2017.”

Despite the fact that the level of protection of Mir payment cards corresponds to international standards, experts at the Central Bank are convinced that at first problems may arise due to systems complementing the card. Cyber ​​attacks are predicted specifically on remote banking systems, reading information about a payment card. But, as Artem Sychev, head of the Main Directorate for Security and Information Protection of the Bank of Russia, noted, “cyber threats when using a domestic card can be avoided if standard security rules are observed (do not write down the PIN code on the card, do not tell strangers confidential information, including CVV code)".

NSPK Russia has invested huge funds in the development of payment applications, the core for the project terminal. There is also interest in these technologies from the CIS countries. According to Komlev, NSPK is ready to provide access on reasonable terms so that, when switching to a chip, partners from the CIS countries do not become dependent on international payment systems or international vendors. And the future plans of the project include issuing cards based on NSPK technologies, but under local brands.

Mir started testing 3D-Secure 2.0

The national payment card system was the first in the world to start testing a “smart” transaction verification system in November. Its main difference from the first version is that the confirmation decision monetary transaction will be accepted based on complex information about the device from which the payment is made.

The operator of the Russian payment system Mir, NSPK, has begun testing 3D-Secure 2.0 technology, which displays new level use of Internet and mobile applications. NSPK also became the first payment system in the world to adapt its standards to 3D-Secure 2.0.

No more than ten Russian banks will take part in testing. According to experts, the use of 3D-Secure 2.0 on an industrial scale will not begin until 2018. See 3D-Secure for more details.

UCS has connected thousands of retail outlets to receive the Mir card

According to UCS, transactions with Mir cards are carried out both in Moscow and St. Petersburg, as well as in large Russian cities - Krasnodar, Novorossiysk, Rostov-on-Don, Nizhny Novgorod, Vologda, Orsk, Omsk, Tyumen, Smolensk, Chelyabinsk Vladivostok, Nizhnevartovsk, Kemerovo, Novosibirsk, Arkhangelsk and others.

One million Mir cards issued

Vladimir Komlev, CEO of NSPK JSC, spoke in October 2016 about the development status of the Mir national payment system, which has already been joined by 146 credit institutions. The number of Mir cards issued has already exceeded 1 million.

The ATM network of banks participating in the Mir payment system throughout the country is ready to accept national cards. The Russian payment card is rapidly gaining popularity among users - in September of this year, over a million transactions were carried out using Mir cards. The most popular operations with Mir cards are cash withdrawals from ATMs (42%), payments for purchases at grocery stores (42%), and payments at restaurants and cafes (3%).

Over 600,000 Mir cards issued

As of September 2016, more than 600,000 Mir cards have been issued (including in Crimea and Sevastopol). Approximately 54% of Mir card transactions account for payment for purchases, and 41% of all transactions for cash withdrawals. The acquiring networks of Russian banks are 50% ready to accept Mir cards. By the end of 2016, this figure will increase to approximately 85%, and it will be brought to 100% by the end of the first quarter of 2017.

Mir cards will become mandatory for use by state employees

Maps "World", (2015)

The company plans to launch a pilot project of the Mir payment system loyalty program with several banks (SMP-bank, Svyaz-Bank, SDM-bank) and trading enterprises. Within two months, employees of NSPK and organizations participating in the project will test the operability of the system support of the loyalty program. The program is based only on cash-back, the average size which in pilot actions is 10-15%.

Within the framework of the project, the main work is carried out by the NSPK. The system forms a partner network, negotiates discounts and determines the technical parameters of the calculations. NSPK acts as the initiator and organizer of the loyalty program, and participating banks will be able to use turnkey solution. Using cards of international payment systems, programs with discounts, cash-back and bonuses, each credit institution implemented independently, created its own partner network. Of course, the approach proposed by the NSPK will make it possible to “fill up” a payment card faster and make it more attractive to customers.

The task of the bank as a participant pilot project, in checking the correctness of the formation and processing of the transaction file clearing system, which allows you to calculate the discount at partner outlets and determine how it is reflected on the invoice.

2015: Mir cards will receive chips of the Russian and foreign production

On October 13, 2015 it became known that chips for cards of the national payment system "Mir" will be produced by both Russian and foreign manufacturers. Visa and MasterCard competitor will exit at the end of the year.

2014: Creation of the National Payment Card System (NSPK)

The creation of the NSPK was a response to problems with the international payment systems Visa and Mastercard that arose with several Russian banks. In March 2014, immediately after the reunification of Russia and Crimea, the government imposed sanctions against a number of Russian politicians and businessmen. Among them was Yuri Kovalchuk, along with the Bank of Russia he created, as well as the brothers Boris and Arkady Rotenberg.

Immediately after that, Visa and Mastercard payment systems Visa and MasterCard, without warning, for several days stopped carrying out transactions on cards of several Russian banks, including Yury Kovalchuk's Rossiya bank and SMP bank of the Rotenberg brothers. It was possible to withdraw cash from the cards only at the offices and ATMs of the same banks.

2013: Amendments to the law on electronic payments

From January 2014, certain norms of Article 9 of Federal Law-161 1 “On the National Payment System” should come into force, which aim to increase the legal protection of consumers financial services. In particular, according to part 4 of this article, banks (money transfer operators) are now obliged to inform the client about the completion of each transaction using an electronic means of payment by sending him a corresponding notification in the manner prescribed by the agreement with the client.

According to part 5 of article 9 of Federal Law-161, the money transfer operator is also obliged to provide the client with the opportunity to send him a notification of the loss electronic means payment and / or its use without the consent of the client.

Part 6 of Article 9, in turn, obliges banks to record notifications sent to the client and received from the client, as well as store the relevant information for at least three years.

Part 7 of Article 9 obliges banks to provide the client with documents and information related to the use of his electronic means of payment, in the manner prescribed by the agreement.

The most important changes are introduced by parts 11-15 of article 9 of Federal Law-161: they oblige the money transfer operator to reimburse the client for the amount of the operation performed without his consent or in case of violation of the rules for informing the client about the disputed transaction. In accordance with the law, for this, the client must notify the bank of the use of an electronic means of payment without his consent no later than the day following the day of receipt from the bank of the notification of the transaction.

The law obliges the bank to reimburse the client for the amount of the disputed transaction if the bank fails to fulfill the obligation to inform the client about the transaction upon receipt. If financial institution performs this obligation, then it is obliged to reimburse the amount of the transaction performed without the consent of the client, unless it proves that the latter violated the procedure for using the electronic means of payment, which led to the transaction without his consent, states the parts of FZ-161 that have entered into force.

The bill describes the procedure and rules for the transfer of funds by the operator. Before transferring money, the operator is obliged to provide customers with the opportunity to find out the amount of the commission and the method for determining the exchange rate.

It is established that the infrastructure of the payment system includes a settlement center, a payment and clearing and an operational (processing) center. In particular, a payment clearing center is an organization that, within the framework of the payment system, ensures the acceptance for execution of instructions from participants in the payment system to make a transfer. Settlement center- an organization that writes off and credits funds to the bank accounts of payment system participants, and also sends confirmations of the execution of their orders. According to the amendments, in any case, the settlement and payment clearing centers should be localized in Russia, and processing, as reported, can be organized both in Russia and abroad. Initially, it was supposed to prohibit the transfer of information by international payment systems abroad about payments made in Russia.

As explained by Vladislav Reznik, Chairman of the State Duma Committee on financial market, the bill determines the translation electronic money How new form non-cash payments, which will be carried out exclusively by credit institutions on behalf of customers. The Bank of Russia will issue a special type of lightweight licenses to these credit institutions, giving them the right to work with electronic money. Electronic money is defined as funds deposited by customers in credit institutions, which are accounted for without opening bank accounts.

The bill also regulates issues related to "electronic means of payment" (ESP), which means different ways remote management of funds held in credit institutions. “The issue of liability for the use of an electronic means of payment has been settled: we have indicated that the burden of proof in incidents lies with banks. Of course, the banks are not very happy,” V. Reznik noted.

Three types of ESP are introduced for electronic payments:

  • non-personalized ESP with a maximum balance at any time of 15 thousand rubles and a monthly turnover limit of 40 thousand;
  • personalized ESP with customer identification ( maximum amount electronic money on the account - 100 thousand rubles);
  • corporate ESP (maximum balance at the end of the working day - 100 thousand rubles) for electronic payments for services and goods.

In addition, the bill lays the foundations for the regulation of "mobile payments". “An electronic money operator may enter into an agreement with a telecom operator entitled to provide radiotelephone mobile communication services. Under the terms of the agreement, the operator will have the right to increase the balance of electronic money individual(subscriber of the telecom operator) at the expense of his funds, which are paid in advance to the telecom operator. This created the conditions for the use mobile phone to make various payments,” V. Reznik explained.

Deputies reassure the public: there will be no restrictions on foreign cards

On April 5, 2011, it was reported that the creation of a national payment system after the entry into force of the relevant law would not lead to difficulties for using Visa and MasterCard plastic cards in Russia. This opinion was expressed by the Deputy Chairman of the relevant State Duma Committee on the financial market, Yuri Isaev, commenting at the request of ITAR-TASS latest publications in the press on the subject. The parliamentarian, in particular, explained the meaning of the amendment, which was submitted for the second reading of the draft law and which proposes the mandatory use of payment infrastructure in Russia for payments made within the country. "No one restricts any cross-border transactions and the transfer of information about cross-border transfers," he stressed, while confirming that the amendments introduce a ban on the transfer of information about domestic payments outside the country. However, the deputy head of the committee is convinced that there will be no difficulties with the use of international plastic cards after the adoption of the law in the current version. He clarified that, according to the proposed rules, foreign operators will either have to open their processing centers in Russia, or use the processing of the largest Russian banks. "The bill provides for a rather long period, up to three years, for the technical implementation of the requirements of the law," the deputy recalled.

Isaev stated that these changes caused "a lot of negative comments from representatives of payment systems", "people began to be frightened by the fact that Visa cards and MasterCard will not be able to be accepted and serviced in the country and abroad.” “This is not true,” he stressed.

Speaking about the prospects for increasing the commission for transactions using cards, Isaev drew attention to the fact that "the cost of creating processing centers is not an exorbitant figure, and the competitive environment will not contribute to the growth of the commission."

2010

The State Duma adopted the bill on NPS in the first reading

“If you do not clarify the text of the bill for the second reading in terms of key concepts and approaches to regulating this type of activity, then the implementation of the proposed requirements of the bill will actually kill the domestic sphere of instant payments and “electronic money”. Many services will be moved outside the Russian Federation, to more comfortable jurisdictions,” the committee concluded.

According to the deputies of the committee, the very concept of "national payment system" and other key concepts are not fully spelled out in the text of the bill. In addition, ordinary payers and various consumers of payment services are not even considered as subjects of the national payment system, although it is their rights and freedoms that should determine the meaning, content and application of the law on the national payment system, the conclusion says.

In addition, the draft law significantly narrows the rights of payers and consumers of payment services, in particular, any payments in this document are considered as Bank operation on the transfer of money, and in all areas related to payments, a “banking monopoly” is being established, which is likely to lead to an increase in the cost of payment services, the deputies of the committee believe.

Also significant, in their opinion, is the fact that the norms of the bill are actually replaced by references to yet non-existent acts of the Central Bank. “All regulation is based on the principle – “I establish it myself, I control it myself, I punish it myself, in strict accordance with my own order,” members of the committee believe. There is such a situation when the chamber is invited to adopt a law, the effect of which has not yet been determined and will be determined later by the Central Bank, the deputies believe.

Yuri Isaev, deputy chairman of the committee, noted that the bill considers two concepts - "national payment system" and "payment system", which create its legal structure. “These concepts do not define payment systems as an object of law, do not specify their property status, do not clarify legal status categories of persons that make up the subjects of payment systems obscure legal relations both within payment systems and, in some cases, relations with customers,” the deputy believes.

According to Yu. Isaev, when considering the provisions of the draft law regarding the legalization of the institution of electronic money in the legislation, there is also a situation of its insufficiency legal regulation. “Based on the text of the bill, it is impossible to accurately understand the legal nature of this phenomenon, the technology of their issue and circulation, as well as the type of obligation of the issuer of electronic money to their owner,” the deputy said.

In addition, the problem of so-called mobile payments, that is, the activities carried out by telecom operators for the transfer of funds, remained outside the scope of the legal regulation of this project. Also, according to him, issues related to out-of-court settlement of disputes between the user and the payment system itself have not been resolved.

The document, according to him, also does not contain rules that establish requirements for the safety of funds received by payment institutions from users of payment services or from another operator of the payment system.

At the end of 2015, the Central Bank of Russia, as well as the issuer represented by the National Payment Card System (NSPK), announced that soon, at the beginning of 2016, new cards of domestic design would be put into circulation. The card received a completely "peaceful" name, which is easy to remember in all languages ​​of the world - the MIR plastic card.

Approximately in the first half of the year, employees will become holders of the card public institutions, public sector, students, pensioners, and starting from the second half of 2016, the card will come to all Russians without exception.

What is the MIR payment system

It will be possible to transfer scholarships, pensions, wages to the card. The card system will be adapted to work on the Internet. It will be possible to translate various financial operations from one MIR card to a similar card (so far within the same system). It will be possible to withdraw or deposit cash from the MIR plastic card. In fact, the card resembles the same functions as we are used to seeing in VISA or MasterCard, Maestro, with the only "registration" - from Russia.

Where, when and how will the MIR card be used?

AT Central Bank Russia was assured that it is planned to launch two programs in parallel, one of them will be aimed at adapting the card system at home (in Russia), and the second program is intended for adaptation abroad. Thus, the card will be accepted, according to the plan of the Central Bank, not only in Russia, but also abroad. Representatives of the Central Bank assure that the co-badging (the so-called universal partner system) program will be launched closer to the second half of 2016 (the programs are being developed intensively).

It is planned that the MIR payment system should be easily adapted in the countries of the Eurasian Economic Community - in Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, after the emission takes place throughout Russia. Interest in the new payment system was expressed by Armenia, which is ready to recognize the WORLD on its territory.

The map will also be used on the territory of Vietnam, with a country that Russia has signed an economic zone free trade. Negotiations are underway to recognize the payment system in the BRICS countries (South Africa, India, Brazil and the People's Republic of China).

MIR and Crimea - the problem will be solved
