Mexico boasts one of the most robust digital economies in Latin America, with over half of its population shopping online, making it one of the top five countries for e-commerce growth worldwide. As a result, consumer expectations have risen significantly. Currently, 70% of online shoppers consider themselves experts in digital transactions. Among the aspects highly valued by users, speed, and security rank highest, with accessibility coming in third place, given that not the entire population is banked.
Can you imagine the impact of having your transactions completed in less than 30 seconds, with immediate confirmation for your users? That’s precisely what integrating SPEI through PayRetailers can bring to your business. In this blog, we will delve into everything you need to know about this payment method.
The Instant Payment Revolution
Before 2020, traditional methods like cash and card payments dominated in Mexico and Latin America. These methods were not accessible to the entire population, with limitations in terms of speed, cost, and availability. Solutions like PIX aimed to address these issues and, in response, gained widespread adoption, transforming the way payments are made in Brazil and beyond. As a result, other Latin American economies explored similar options for instant payments.
This is how Mexico successfully replicated the secure environment provided by these instant payment methods, extending it to all its users and businesses. Whether you need to pay bills, enter the gaming ecosystem, or make online purchases, SPEI offers an efficient and reliable way to do so. It has transformed how users and businesses conduct transactions, providing peace of mind and efficiency that exceeded all expectations, setting an example of how to implement a successful instant payment system in an emerging market.
Currently, approximately 80.9 million transactions are conducted through SPEI each month, and in March of this year, it witnessed an astonishing 40% growth, making it the month with the highest number of operations: 279.3 million, or roughly 6,257 transactions per minute.
