About SNP

Argentina's Sistema Nacional de Pagos enables instant interbank transfers supporting both push (credit) and pull (debit) payments via CBU (bank account), CVU (virtual wallet), or alias (human-readable name). Operated by the BCRA, it connects traditional banks and the rapidly growing fintech/e-wallet ecosystem (Mercado Pago, Ualá, etc.). Transferencias 3.0 extended the system with interoperable QR codes for merchant payments, making it one of Latin America's most feature-rich instant payment platforms.
