Payment methods supporting BYN
Methods that list this currency in their coverage.
Bank Transfer (Internet & Mobile Banking)
Generic online and mobile bank-transfer methods (internet banking, e-banking, EFT and interbank transfers). Customers pay directly from their bank account via their bank's own online/mobile banking portal. Implementation and rails differ by country, but the consumer flow is a standard account-to-account bank transfer.
UnionPay
The dominant card scheme in Macau due to the large volume of mainland Chinese visitors and gamblers. UnionPay cards are accepted at casinos, hotels, and most merchants. As of November 2024, foreign-issued UnionPay cards can link directly with Alipay and WeChat Pay for added convenience.
ERIP (ЕРИП)
The Electronic Unified Settlement and Information System is Belarus's primary platform for paying utilities, government fees, fines, and retail bills. Accessible via ATMs, internet banking, mobile apps, and payment kiosks. Practically universal for domestic bill payments.
MIR
Russia's national card payment system established by the Central Bank of Russia and operated by NSPK (National System of Payment Cards). By end-2024, over 400 million MIR cards had been issued, accounting for 66.7% of all domestic transactions. The US Treasury sanctioned NSPK in February 2024, which does not affect domestic usage but creates problems with MIR acceptance abroad.
