Payment by cash in Uruguay
Abitab and RedPagos, the two collection networks, take bill payments, wallet top-ups, remittances and e-commerce cash vouchers at counters across all 19 departments, part of about 1,292 correspondent locations. RedPagos, owned by Prosegur Cash since 2021, runs 490 agencies and says it handles about half of in-person payments and collections. MiDinero is the RedPagos wallet.
Abitab and RedPagos in e-commerce
Online stores still offer an Abitab or RedPagos voucher next to cards, and cash on delivery is rare outside food delivery. Gateways such as dLocal and Plexo add Abitab and RedPagos vouchers to the international cards. They matter because cash is shrinking elsewhere: ATM and cash-dispenser operations fell 7% in a year in the first half of 2026, and a Fiserv survey puts cash use down 42% in five years.
