Since the Peruvian government initiated a plan to expand broadband connectivity in 2011, the country has experienced significant growth in online purchases accounting for 96 percent of all Internet users. Peru ranks as the fifth fastest-growing e-commerce sector in Latin America.
To connect more merchants with Peruvians, Allied Wallet added Astropay Card, MercadoPago, Pago Efectivo, Safetypay, and Sencillito to its online payment platform. The new payment options allow shoppers to print documents of purchased online goods and pay cash at local branches. For Pago Efectivo, consumers can visit one of the 40,000 payment locations in Peru.
