KuCoin Pay Expands QR Payment Services in Latin America
According to the Official Blog, users who hold cryptocurrency will benefit from KuCoin Pay’s recent expansion of its QR code payment capabilities in those two markets that have experienced strong mobile payment growth over the years. It allows users to make cryptocurrency and stablecoin payments through existing payment systems.
In Argentina, KuCoin Pay now supports Transferencias 3.0, which will allow the use of interoperable QR codes by services such as Mercado Pago. Similarly, in Peru, KuCoin Pay has partnered with Yape and Plin, two of the most popular digital payment methods within that country.
By integrating with QR code payments, users can simply scan a QR code to make purchases using digital currency, therefore eliminating the need for a separate crypto-specific payment process.
