Отказ от карт «Мир» в первую очередь ударил по пенсионерам

ANALYSIS

Несколько недель назад стало известно о прекращении обслуживания армянскими банкам российских платежных карт «Мир». До этого объявления услугами карты «Мир» пользовалась пятая часть пенсионеров в Армении. По данным Государственного статистического комитета, число пенсионеров в Армении составляет около 488 тысяч.

В банке «ВТБ Армения» по картам «Мир» пенсии получали 113 тысяч пенсионеров, а после принятия банками такого решения их число резко сократилось до 84 тысяч и, по мнению экспертов, этот показатель будет снижаться и дальше.

Дело в том, что пенсионерам с картами «Мир» было удобно использовать только одну карту не только для получения пенсий, но и для получения переводов из-за границы, в частности, из России.

Хотя получать пенсию по картам «Мир» в банке «ВТБ Армения» и сегодня можно, однако, после решения банков, власти Армении приняли еще одно внутреннее решение, которое серьезно бьет по карманам пенсионеров.

В частности, пенсионеры больше не смогут получать от государства возврат (кэшбэк) до 10% своей пенсии по картам «Мир», и именно это является основной причиной того, что пенсионеры десятками тысяч отказываются от карт «Мир».

Если в случае со всеми банками можно было сказать, что проблема в американских санкциях, и каждый банк сам решает, как ему действовать, то в данном случае мы явно имеем дело с политической составляющей.
