Chile, with a population of around 20.21 million people, has a GDP of approximately 343.82 billion making it the 43rd largest economy in the world. The official currency of Chile is the Chilean Peso (CLP,CLF)
The economy is driven by the export of commodities, particularly copper mining, alongside agriculture (fruit, wine) and services. It has numerous free trade agreements, with its main trading partners being China, the United States, and the European Union.
Debit cards have an extremely high penetration in Chile, largely due to BancoEstado's "CuentaRUT" account, which provides a debit card to a vast portion of the population, making it a primary payment tool. Credit cards are also very popular, especially for online purchases and for paying in installments. For online payments and direct peer-to-peer transfers, the "Transferencia Electrónica" system is a common and trusted method.
