ArmInfo. Armenian Card, Beeline and

program is designed for all Beeline mobile subscribers and ArCa banks
card holders, who can make a number of transactions in USSD interface
of Armenian Card by adding a Beeline mobile number to their

any moment.
"Beeline aims to make its services simple and convenient for
subscribers. We don't limit ourselves to our own tariff plans and
services, but work with our partners to offer new, useful and
convenient services to the customers. We're sure that USSD ArCa
service will notably simplify the process of making transactions by
bank account or card for customers, regardless of time of the day and
distance," noticed Beeline Armenia CEO Andrey Pyatakhin.
"We have been given a difficult task to integrate USSD menu for
Beeline subscribers with Armenian Card processing center. We have
successfully carried out the task. This is not our first project and
we hope that we will further be offered such interesting task",
Executive Director of Nikita Mobile Ara Yaghjyan informed.
"Beeline was the first to respond and support our new idea and
service and we are grateful to the company for this. I am sure that
after the launch of the service cardholders will appreciate its
advantages and the service will be expanded due to joining of other
mobile operators. While Beeline will enjoy the path breaker's
success", Executive Director of Armenian Card Ishkhan Mkhitaryan
commented on the initiative.
In order to get the new service, client needs to send USSD to *116#
