Works with Moreta Pay
Pay Plin codes without a Peruvian bank
Yes. Moreta Pay lets visitors pay Plin codes in Peru without a Peruvian bank account. Add money from the bank or card you already have, scan the Plin code at the counter and slide to pay in Peruvian sol. The merchant is paid the same way as when a local scans it.

The network
What is Plin?
Plin is the instant payment feature built into the apps of several Peruvian banks, launched in 2020 by BBVA, Interbank and Scotiabank. Customers link a phone number to their soles account, then pay by phone number or by scanning a Plin QR code.

Can tourists pay Plin?
Plin lives inside a bank’s app, so it needs an account opened in Peru. A card from home can’t pay the code on the counter, and opening a local account takes paperwork a visit rarely leaves time for.
Moreta closes that gap. It pays the Plin code itself, from a balance you top up with your own bank, card, Apple Pay or Google Pay, and converts at the live rate at the moment you pay. One flat fee, shown before you slide to pay.
Card or cash
- A foreign transaction fee on most cards
- Your bank's rate, or the terminal's worse one
- ATM fees from your bank and the operator
- Leftover Peruvian sol to change back
Moreta
- One flat fee, shown before you slide to pay
- The live rate at the moment you pay
- No ATM and no card to hand over
- What you do not spend stays for the next country
How to pay a Plin code
Set Moreta up once, at home or on the plane. After that, paying a Plin code in Peru is a scan and a slide.

Local tips
- Look for the Yape or Plin mark. At markets the code is often a laminated card by the scales.
- Carry small sol notes for combis, remote villages and trails where there is no signal.
- Altitude towns can have slow data, so top up the wallet in Lima or Cusco first.
