MasterCard officially affirms stable operation of Alfa-Bank's MasterCard plastic cards

Due to a number of refusals to serve Alfa-Bank’s MasterCard plastic cards, the international payment system MasterCard states that there has been no operations blocked using Alfa-Bank’s MasterCard plastic cards.

All the valid Alfa-Bank’s MasterCard plastic cards are continuing to operate in a normal business order both using the bank’s retail network and through ATMs in Alfa-Bank’s branches and in other banks in Russia and abroad.

Alfa-Bank has always met and will continue to meet all its financial obligations in full, including those on operations through the use of plastic cads.
