Yapethe application of Banco de Crédito del Perú (BCP), has become an essential tool for the financial transactions of millions of Peruvians. This tool allows users to send and receive money quickly and easily, using only their phone number. However, it is not without risks, especially when it comes to receiving repeated deposits of minimum amounts, such as S/0.10.
What happens to your Yape account if they deposit S/0.10 several times?
The minimum amount to send and receive money through Yape is S/0.10, but when an account receives several deposits of the same value, a system defense mechanism may be activated. This scenario, although it seems harmless, can be interpreted by the Yape system as suspicious activity, triggering preventive measures.

According to Yape advisors, contacted through its WhatsApp support channel, the application is designed to detect unusual usage patterns, such as the repetitive sending of small amounts of money. These actions, although they may seem trivial, can result in a temporary blocking of the account, which can last between 24 and 48 hours, with the aim of preventing possible fraud or abuse of the system.
Therefore, it is recommended that users avoid making repeated deposits of small amounts, as well as entering incorrect passwords or incorrect information repeatedly.
How long is a Yape account blocked?
When a Yape account is blocked, it remains in this condition for a period ranging between 24 and 48 hours. After this interval, the account is automatically unlocked, as indicated on the official Yape website.
