Still, the need to use other currencies and speak to speak about "PRO100" user reviews.According to them, the system is not compatible with the world's major (and not only Russian) banking institutions, does not deserve attention.
yet to implement plans that would satisfy users have neither the technical capacity nor infrastructure, nor specialists capable of programming and debugging equipment "PRO100".And to introduce the system to be first in Russia, providing software, staff and processing centers.This may take more than one year, and after not necessarily domestic technology will be compatible with foreign ones.Perhaps for this reason some people are guided by reviews of other customers or their experience, will continue to use the system "MasterCard" and "Visa" that so definitively and not gone out of the Russian Federation.
