Through Circular No. 0026-2026-BCRP, published in the Official Gazette on October 3, 2026, the Central Reserve Bank of Peru (BCRP) approved the Regulation on Payment Acceptance Services (the “Regulation”), establishing a regulatory framework for (i) the acquiring of Payment Transactions and (ii) funds collection services.
The regulation sets forth the general guidelines applicable to these two services and governs payment service providers that offer or participate in the provision of payment acceptance services (i.e., payment acquirers), as well as payment infrastructures, including their administrators and direct and indirect participants.
We are pleased to share a concise overview of this relevant new regulatory framework:
