BBVA Peru is the Peruvian subsidiary of the Spanish global financial group BBVA, and one of Peru's major banks. It is a bank-transfer-based payment method in which BBVA account holders authorize a transfer through online banking or the app, and it complements the largest bank, BCP, whose channel serves a different customer base.
In Peru, online payment habits have formed around accounts and wallets rather than cards, and along with Yape, the Plin wallet, backed by several banks including BBVA, has grown rapidly, making bank app usage routine. BBVA Peru has a strong customer base among urban salaried workers and users of global services within this digital banking trend, and BBVA transfer payments let these customers complete online purchases from within the bank app they already use.
Even if you have already added BCP transfers, you need a channel with another bank to broadly capture Peruvian account holders. For merchants offering digital products with recurring payments, such as subscriptions, software, or online courses, exposing a transfer payment option alongside other methods to target customers accustomed to the BBVA app is an effective setup.
A consumer who selects BBVA at checkout is taken to a BBVA online banking login screen or a payment code issuance screen. The moment they authorize a transfer from their own account, the funds move, and the merchant is notified once the deposit is confirmed, at which point the order is finalized. Authentication follows BBVA's own identity verification process within its app.
Integrating through Hecto Financial allows a merchant registered in Korea to explore adopting BBVA payments without a separate local contract in Peru. Actual support availability and terms (settlement cycle, fees, currency options) vary depending on the merchant's industry and transaction volume, so confirmation with the Hecto Financial sales team is required before contracting.

The settlement currency merchants receive is not the Peruvian Sol. Consumer transfer amounts are collected locally by Hecto Financial in PEN and then converted, with final payout made in one currency among USD, KRW, or JPY as designated under contract. If a refund is needed, it is returned to the consumer's BBVA account, and the time required can be confirmed in the contract terms.
Hecto Financial's dedicated team can help you review the right combination of payment methods for the Peru market.
