Scope

• Payments via QR codes are gaining prominence in Peru. To enhance security and standardize QR code payments, on February 2, 2020 Banco Central de Reserva del Per (the country's central bank) introduced the Regulation of the Payment Service with Quick Response Codes. The regulation establishes a standard for payments made using QR codes and sets a legal framework for service providers and payment networks. The regulation mandates that issuers and service providers follow the international standard EMV QR Code specification for payment systems.
• Contactless payments are gaining prominence in the country, with major banks including BBVA Continental, BCP, and Interbank now offering contactless cards. As per BBVA Continental data reported in November 2019, 10% of all card payments in the market are made via contactless technology. Contactless acceptance is now being extended to public transport and malls. In July 2020, the Urban Transport Authority enabled debit, credit, and prepaid card holders to make contactless payments for buses in Peru. As per the authority, 300 units will be installed on buses to accept contactless payments. In July 2020, Mall Aventura started implementing contactless payments among retailers in the mall. Meanwhile, the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic will further drive contactless payments for low-value day-to-day transactions as consumers refrain from using cash in order to contain the spread of the virus.
• To capitalize on the growing credit card space, fintech companies are also entering the market. In 2020, digital-only bank B89 announced it would launch Visa credit cards in Peru with a special focus on young Peruvians and millennials. The company claims it has over 2,000 clients on the waiting list for its credit cards. The bank will officially launch in January 2021.
