Iran Cards and Payments Market Dynamics
The central bank of Iran is focusing on boosting contactless mobile payments. In February 2021, it launched an EMV-based mobile payment system, which allows users to make NFC-based contactless mobile payments by adding their payment cards to supported mobile apps. As of September 2021, three banks and one payment service provider had enabled this contactless payment functionality at over 20,000 POS terminals.
Owing to the US sanctions and rising inflation, the Iranian rial (IRR) has been declining in value. Its value further deteriorated following the outbreak of COVID-19. To address this situation, in May 2020, the Iranian government passed a bill to replace the rial with the toman and in September 2022, the central bank began a trial of its digital currency, the digital rial.
