Armenia's dram-based payments market includes the national ArCa card infrastructure and licensed digital providers such as Idram and Telcell. These local networks complement international cards and bank transfers in an economy that recorded approximately 7.2% real GDP growth in 2025.
Cash in Armenia
Armenia's cash requirements vary by location: cards work widely in Yerevan, while small shops, markets and rural stays still need dram. ArCa and local wallets add digital payment options, with fewer ATMs outside larger towns.
