Merchant Acquiring: Latin America
Latin
America is home to some of the most exciting payments markets in the world. With
individual markets often volatile, the approaches to developing the payments
industry have always had to be uniquely tailored to the environment.
The
markets range from the quite advanced to the more developing, but all markets
still offer room for growth with penetration of payment instruments and
supporting acceptance infrastructure quite low. Some markets are dominated by
local banks, while others have a good presence of international players in the
acquiring and processing space. Latin America offers a bit of everything but
the constant theme is one where all markets have potential good longterm
growth.
