Key highlights
• The government of Peru developed the National Financial Inclusion Strategy (NFIS) in July 2015. It aims to provide access to financial accounts for at least 50% of the adult population by 2018, and 75% of the adult population by 2021. The strategy promotes access to savings, insurance and financing, consumer protection, financial education programs and the use of electronic payment instruments. A rise in bank penetration is expected to drive demand for products such as bank accounts and debit cards.

• In line with governments financial inclusion program, the national mobile payments system Modelo Peru launched Bim mobile money, a fully interoperable payments platform, in February 2016. Through this, Modelo Peru aims to provide much of the unbanked population with access to digital financial services. It enables Peruvians with a mobile phone to open a bank account, transfer funds and make utility payments, and can be accessed with any basic mobile phone. Modelo Peru plans to have more than 2 million active Bim mobile money users by 2020. Modelo Peru is formed by the partnership of 40 Peruvian financial institutions, including private-sector and state-owned banks, credit unions, microfinance institutions, non-bank electronic money issuers and telecommunication companies.

• With high mobile penetration, companies in Peru are increasingly using mobile technology with a focus on financial inclusion. Movistar, a mobile operator in Peru, in collaboration with MasterCard, introduced the countrys first electronic mobile money service, Tu Dinero Movil (Your Mobile Money), in January 2015. The service is now available to Movistars more than 16 million customers, allowing them to conduct a number of transactions such as money transfers, purchases at MasterCard-affiliated establishments, and paying for mobile recharges. Similar to Bim, it can be accessed on smartphones as well as basic mobile phones.
