The uptake of alternate payment methods to support gift card industry growth in Latin America

Latin America's payment landscape is undergoing a significant transformation driven by shifting consumer behavior and regulatory initiatives. The increasing use of the internet and smartphones has fueled the rise of e-commerce, spurring the adoption of various payment methods like gift cards over the last few years. Regulatory frameworks such as CoDi in Mexico and Pix in Brazil have played a pivotal role in promoting faster, simpler, and more secure digital payments across the region.

CoDi in Mexico has streamlined and enhanced instant payments, making them more accessible and convenient for both merchants and consumers. Similarly, Pix in Brazil has incentivized digital payments, challenging traditional methods and fostering the growth of alternate payment solutions. These initiatives, along with others like Transferencias 3.0 in Argentina, have significantly improved accessibility to digital payments, also supporting the growth of the gift card industry.
