Interoperability: Users can transfer money to other banks from Yape

According to the information that emerged, the total of transfers between June of this year, a month and a half after the launch, exceeded one million daily operations and has just reached a peak of 1 million 400,000 as of August 31. Thus, 30 million operations were registered per month.
In that sense, the second phase of interoperability is already being carried out and since September 13 it has been enabled to make payments from these wallets (Yape and Plin) with a bank, savings bank, financial institution or digital wallet using only the number of recipient’s cell phone. In this way, it will not be mandatory to provide the 20 digits of the interbank account code (CCI).
