LATAM Payment Methods & Digital Payments 2025: Consumer Trends and Market Forecasts
Latin America's Digital Payments Market Expands Amid Fintech Innovation and E-Commerce Boom
Latin America's Digital Payment Revenue to Triple by 2027
Latin America's digital payments market is set to grow significantly, with revenue projected to reach USD 0.3 trillion by 2027. Growth is driven by financial inclusion, fintech innovation, and regulatory reforms. Despite this expansion, the region's global market share will stay below 10%, far behind Asia-Pacific and North America. However, mobile payments, digital wallets, and real-time transactions are broadening financial access.
E-Commerce Growth Accelerates Digital Payment Adoption
E-Commerce is fueling digital payment adoption, with sales expected to exceed USD 260 billion by 2028. Brazil's Pix is transforming transactions, debit cards lead in Mexico, and Argentina is seeing a rise in digital wallets. Chile and Colombia remain credit card-dominated, but alternative payments are expanding.
Alternative Payments and Cryptocurrency Surge
Credit and debit cards made up over 60% of transactions in 2023, but alternative methods are rising. Real-time payments, A2A transfers, and digital wallets offer faster, lower-cost options. Cryptocurrency adoption has doubled, surpassing 55 million in 2024. Argentina leads within Latin America, with nearly 20% of its population holding crypto, followed by Brazil and Venezuela.
