Commercial banks and card processing systems operating in Georgia are not in cooperation with the Russian payment system Mir, the National Bank of Georgia said.
Operations in the Mir platform do not concern the Georgian financial system, the central bank said.
The National Bank of Georgia has always operated and continues to operate in full compliance with the standards set by international resolutions, the National Bank’s statement says.
Georgian Airways on Wednesday also denied selling tickets through Russian payment system Mir. The airline said it had an agreement with the Spanish company WebSky.tech, which operates an international ticketing system and uses the Mir platform in addition to other technical means. However, the airline added its system was connected with Bank of Georgia, adding it was “impossible” for its customers to buy tickets through the Mir payment system.
