Current special-payment locations include Israel, Jordan, Iraq, Palestine, Argentina, Paraguay, Uruguay, Brunei, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Senegal and several West African jurisdictions, India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Nepal, Russia, Armenia, Belarus, Moldova, Uzbekistan, Mozambique, Oman, Yemen, Laos, Iran, Syria and Myanmar.
