The entry into force of the interoperability of QR codes for charging with credit cards is deferred for 45 days

Summary:

The Argentine Central Bank delays the implementation of QR code interoperability for credit card payments by 45 days, at the request of one of the QR code providers. The original date was set for September 1, 2023. The measure aims to improve the payment experience for users by allowing them to choose between payment methods, such as credit cards and digital wallets, through a single QR code. This interoperability will not discriminate against users based on the brand of digital wallet used. The new regulation will benefit users by providing a seamless payment experience, allowing them to choose their preferred payment method without needing to switch digital wallets.
