Latin America’s financial infrastructure is evolving rapidly, driven by regulations around instant payments, open banking, and central bank digital currencies (CBDCs). While cash remains popular, used by 42% of adults, alternative payment solutions are transforming consumer behaviour: digital wallets, mobile payments, and other growing solutions. E-commerce growth is fuelling demand for cross-border transactions, but challenges such as high costs and system fragmentation persist. Despite the hurdles, infrastructure improvements and regulatory progress are paving the way for a more inclusive and modernized digital economy, as highlighted by Carlos Nomura, Head of Global Products at Getnet.  https://lnkd.in/d5WhHYYF Explore the trends and innovations shaping Latin America’s payments ecosystem: https://lnkd.in/deuzhP4B #FutureOfPayments #LatinAmerica
