Payment providers in Chile

Payment processing in Chile

Chile is one of Latin America's most banked markets. Debit cards dominate online payments, credit cards are often used in cuotas, and bank transfers (transferencias electrónicas, instant between Chilean banks) are the main alternative, including pay-by-bank checkouts that pre-fill the transfer. Cash vouchers still serve a smaller share of users. Card acquiring was historically concentrated in a single network and has opened up to multiple acquirers and payment facilitators in recent years. Financial institutions are supervised by the CMF; the Fintech Law (2023) brought payment initiation and crypto services into a regulatory framework. {count} providers on this page declare Chile coverage.
