Tuapp is the Uruguayan open mobile wallet owned by the state telecommunications company ANTEL and the state bank BROU, deployed with our Digital Wallet solution.
In 2018, our Digital Wallet solution was selected by the Uruguayan companies ANTEL and BROU, to develop an open digital wallet branded “tuapp”.
Tuapp is the first application in Uruguay with interoperability between mobile networks operators, thus any user can install it regardless of the mobile phone operator they have.
Tuapp allows to link each user account to the main means of payments of the country. This digital wallet is based on an open-loop model for all Uruguayan people, so having a bank account is not mandatory.
