The exact figure was not disclosed, but the company did not specify whether the doubling refers to transfers sent out of Peru, the number of transfers, or a combination of both. Digital transactions now account for more than 20 percent of outbound transfers from Peru, up from around 10 percent, the company also reported. The shift to digital channels is part of a regional trend, with fintech services gaining market share from traditional agents across Latin America.",
