🎉Peru🇵🇪: New app B89+ allows real-time international money transfers

▶️ Alongside international transfers, B89+ also offers:

👉Instant top-ups via Yape or any debit card.

👉 Competitive fees and secure access through biometric authentication.

▶️ Fintech landscape: As of July 2024, Peru had 346 fintech companies in operation: 193 local and 153 international. The sector grew by 17% annually, with credit and financial management leading the way.

▶️Regulatory framework:
Peru has yet to enact a dedicated fintech law — unlike Mexico or Chile — but activities are regulated by either the SBS (Superintendence of Banking, Insurance and AFPs) or the SMV (Superintendence of the Securities Market), depending on the business model:
📍 Financial intermediaries are overseen by the SBS.
📍 Companies involved in digital lending or cryptocurrency must register with UIF-Peru (Financial Intelligence Unit of Peru).
