Our verdict
BBVA Peru pairs a credit card with no annual fee and points on every card purchase, which suits spenders who want rewards without a yearly charge. The credit side carries a currency conversion fee of 3%, so it is worth checking against cards with no foreign spend cost.

Who runs it
BBVA Peru is issued by Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria S.A., a bank headquartered in Spain. The group dates back to 1951, so the brand sits inside a long established European banking group rather than a newcomer. It is listed with the MiCA CASP K8MS7FD7N5Z2WQ51AZ71 licence, so its regulatory status can be checked by looking up that licence. Support is handled on phone and help centre.

Frequently asked questions
Does the BBVA Peru credit card charge an annual fee?+
No. The annual fee is PEN 0 on the credit card, and the card is listed under a no annual fee model. That makes it a cheaper starting point than cards that charge a yearly charge for rewards or perks.
What is the currency conversion fee on the card?+
The currency conversion fee is 3%. That cost applies when card spending is converted into another currency, so cards with a lower foreign spend cost may work out cheaper for frequent travel or overseas purchases.
How do the rewards work?+
The card pays 1 punto per S/ 4 spent, and the rewards type is points rather than cash back. Points are earned on card spend, so the value depends on how much you use the card and how you redeem the points.
What other benefits come with the card?+
The listed perks include discounts at partner merchants, a welcome bonus of BBVA Points and interest free installments. These extras sit on top of the points rate and the absence of an annual fee.
Which network does the card run on?+
The card runs on visa, which is a widely accepted payment network. That means the card can be used at most merchants that accept it, both in Peru and abroad.
Who is behind BBVA Peru?+
The card comes from Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria S.A., a group headquartered in Spain that traces its history back to 1951. It holds the MiCA CASP K8MS7FD7N5Z2WQ51AZ71 licence.
How can I get help with the account?+
Support is available on phone and help centre. The listed channels are the practical routes for questions about the card, so check which one suits the time of day before raising a query.
