ARGENTINA AND PERU CARD AND PAYMENTS REPORTS

Our latest Country Reports explore the cards and payments industries in Peru and Argentina, providing concise commentary and deep data on the latest market trends and regulatory developments, with insights and profiles covering the key market players including banks, issuers, networks, acquirers and processors.

Though a comparatively small market, Peru shows a way forward that neighbours in Latin America would do well to study – and all the more so as economic pressures intensify: building on the successful banking agents initiative, the authorities in Lima, in conjunction with market leaders, have been steadily extending financial inclusion and improving the payments infrastructure through QR codes, contactless innovations and, later this year, instant payment transfers.

Argentina's profitability mix has evolved through a bumpy decade, with deregulation ushering in a new era for merchant acquiring. Cards and payments players have shown remarkable fortitude so far this century, which should position them well to adjust to a post-pandemic world.
