14 October 2022Mir Is Going to the Kazan Metro: Kazan Residents Will Be Able to Save on the Fare Paid with National Cards on Their Smartphones

The promotion will last until February 15, 2023. To take advantage of the discount fare, a Mir card must be preloaded into one of the mobile payment services (Mir Pay or Samsung Pay) installed on an NFC-enabled Android smartphone. «A Mir card can be added to a payment application within a minute. Infotips appear on the phone screen. Immediately after the card addition to a payment service, it is ready for the discount fare payment. By the way, it is not our first promotion in Kazan. Last year, the residents and out-of-towners saved about RUB 70 mln on the fare paid with Mir cards, while fare payments with national cards almost tripled during the promotion. I am convinced that our new promotion will enable many Kazan residents to significantly save on the fare, ” said Maria Tochilova, Product, Digital and Technological Services Development Director of Mir Payment System. For information on how to add a Mir card to mobile payment services, go to www.mironline.ru (Mir Pay, Samsung Pay), or contact the bank that issued the card. „It is essential for us to introduce technical solutions in Kazan public transport that make the trips more convenient and user-friendly. Thus, for example, the fare payment with a bank card is available to passengers from July 2019. The Kazan residents appreciated the state-of-the-art and convenient payment method. Today, about 50% of passengers pay the fare this way. The use of mobile payment services will enable the Metro passengers to reap extra benefits, ” noted Amir Safin, Chairman of the Kazan Transport Committee. All the promotional rules are available on www.privetmir.ru and mobile application Privet, Mir!.
