Today, August 16, Huawei representatives officially announced that the Mir Pay application, which works with the cards of the Russian payment system Mir, has appeared in the AppGallery digital store. That is, now any owner of a Huawei smartphone will be able to launch an online store and download this application, even if Google services and applications on the smartphone do not work due to the ban of the US authorities. For Russian users who have long wanted to pay with a Mir card, but could not do this due to functional limitations, the news is really good.
Huawei also added that the Mir Pay payment application is based on HMS (Huawei Mobile Services) and the user can make purchases even if he does not have access to the network. Especially for this scenario of use, the application reserves unique payment keys in an encrypted format in the internal storage of the smartphone – it is they that allow you to pay for goods and services without the Internet. At the same time, there are plenty of scenarios for using the application to pay for purchases and services – you can pay in various stores (including online and offline), on the Internet or, of course, for travel by public transport.
The last point looks the most interesting and convenient, since now active users of the metro or shuttle buses will not need to carry an additional card or key fob. The payment process, of course, is no different from any other payment system – to pay for the service, the user just needs to unlock the smartphone and bring it to the payment terminal. It is important to note that to pay for goods or services worth up to 1,000 rubles, you do not need to unlock the smartphone screen – you just need to activate it. Moreover, in certain situations, you will need to enter a PIN code, use a fingerprint scanner or a face, as this is necessary for additional security.
