Apple Disables Sberbank's Mir Cards Inside Apple Pay

Apple has informed Sberbank that it is suspending the use of Mir cards associated with Apple Pay e-wallets. Shortly, Apple is removing all the Mir cards paired with its wallets, making the use of Mir cards with Apple Pay impossible.

Customers with Android devices can still access and use SberPay wallets (Android NFC). SberPay-facilitated payments are also secure, with card data remaining within Sberbank. Before you make a payment, you see the transaction value on your screen. Samsung Pay and Mir Pay wallets are compatible with Mir cards and operate as usual.

Moreover, any card, including a Mir card, can be used to pay online via SberPay by tapping on the SberPay instant pay button in SberBank Online. All you need to do is open the mobile application and complete the transaction by using a card issued by any payment processor.

Sber keeps working on other contactless payment services. Clients have access to Pay with QR, Face Pay, and FPS services.
