Credit card market share in POS and e-commerce in 6 countries in Latin America 2025

Published by ÌÇÐÄÆƽâ°æ Research Department, Apr 8, 2026

Physical credit cards were popular for online shopping in Latin America in 2025, with the highest market shares found in Brazil and Mexico. Although the countries comparatively rank lower on credit card penetration than the rest of the world, the use of credit cards for online shopping is well established in the region. This is likely due to providers like MercadoLibre, the Argentinian e-commerce company that is often compared to Amazon but for Latin America. In 2024, MercadoLibre generated a revenue of **** billion U.S. dollars in Brazil alone.
