In the Latin American market, domestic credit and debit cards have become increasingly popular as a means of payment. They are convenient, secure and widely accepted by merchants across the region. The availability of domestic credit and debit cards has enabled more purchasing power for the population in each country.

The popularity of domestic credit and debit cards in LATAM has opened up new opportunities for individuals and businesses and has helped to drive the region's economic growth. With FacilitaPay as a local partner, merchants can accept both international and domestic cards, increasing the addressable market and the approval rates.
