BCP Temporarily Shuts Mobile Banking and Yape for Scheduled Maintenance Early Sunday

Customers can still use ATMs and debit or credit cards during the maintenance window.

Overview

  • BCP, which scheduled maintenance for Sunday from 12:00 a.m. to 6:00 a.m., warns of intermittent access to its Banca Móvil app and the Yape wallet.
  • The bank says some bill payments may not go through during the outage, including utilities, phone, internet, cable, water, and gas services.
  • BCP advises people to plan ahead for late-night needs and to make payments or transfers before the window to avoid delays.
  • Yape has added a “yaperos frecuentes” feature that shows the contacts users pay most often to speed up repeat transfers.
  • Reports also note tighter SUNAT oversight of payments on apps like Yape and Plin, signaling closer tax supervision of digital transactions in Peru.
