Key Highlights

• In an effort to streamline business operations and potentially increase card usage in Peru, BBVA and its startup, Openpay, collaborated to launch a comprehensive payment solutions platform in March 2023. This platform offers four key solutions: Smart POS, Openpay Mini, payment link, and payment gateway. These solutions enable businesses of all sizes, both online and offline, to accept payments through regular POS, mobile POS, payment links, and on the web. By integrating electronic payments into daily business operations, this initiative is expected to boost card usage in Peru.
• The adoption of contactless payments is on the rise in Peru, particularly in the public transportation sector. In November 2023, Lima's local association of public transit operators, AEMUS, introduced open-loop payments for its network of buses. This collaboration with Littlepay, a transit payments processing specialist, allows riders to pay for their rides using a contactless card or a digital wallet.
• Peru is also making strides in financial inclusion by distributing debit cards to recipients of social programs. Banco de la Nación, in co-ordination with the Ministry of Development and Social Inclusion (MIDIS), delivered debit cards to almost 30,000 beneficiaries of the Pension 65 program in April 2024. This initiative aims to promote financial inclusion among the elderly and enable them to receive social security benefits on their debit cards. By providing secure and faster access to benefits, this initiative contributes to increased debit card use and financial inclusion for vulnerable populations.
