The Central Reserve Bank of Peru (BCRP) has approved Circular No. 0028-2026-BCRP, establishing a new Regulation for the Use of Quick Response (QR) Codes in Payment Services and creating the QR Peru Standard. This measure aims to strengthen interoperability, facilitate the incorporation of new participants, and reinforce the security of digital payments. The new regulation updates the existing framework, expanding its scope to include payments between individuals, payments to merchants, and other uses of QR codes in payment services. It also introduces the QR Peru Standard, a set of common rules for generating, reading, interpreting, and processing QR codes based on international specifications from EMVCo. The implementation of the new standard will be gradual, with a full transition expected by April 1, 2028.
