The National Payment Card System (NSPK) is an operational and payment clearing house for processing bank card transactions within Russia and the operator of the Mir card payment system. It is the operational and payment clearing house of the Fast Payment System (FPS) [ru] and wholly owned by the Central Bank of the Russian Federation (CBR).^[1]^[2]

On February 23, 2024, the United States Department of the Treasury imposed sanctions against the NSPK. This has no consequences on the territory of Russia, but may limit the use of Mir cards in other countries.^[3]
