Telegram Ads in Peru — SBS BaaS Framework, Andean Fintech, Real CPMs (2026)
TL;DR
Peru is a Tier-2 Andean market with significant 2026 regulatory openings:
- ~4–5M Telegram users (estimates).
- Spanish (es-PE) — Peruvian vocabulary.
- Real CPM €0.50 – €1.30 in Adsly cabinets — Tier-2 cheap.
- Mobile-heavy.
- Strong remittance flows from US (Peruvian diaspora) and Spain.
The decisive 2026 regulatory fact: SBS BaaS regulation in June 2026 — draft pre-published May for sector consultation, full framework in force mid-2026. Peruvian fintechs partnering with banks via BaaS will gain a clear regulatory framework for the first time.
What runs: SaaS / B2B / e-commerce / mainstream consumer / SBS-supervised fintech / BaaS partners (post-June 2026) / remittance / mainstream loans / crypto education with risk disclosure.
What doesn’t: gambling (Telegram global), unregulated crypto exchange with Peruvian-licensing claims (no such framework), guaranteed-yield investment.

- Lima metro corridor + Arequipa + Trujillo carry ~75% of cabinet inventory.

The SBS / BaaS framework in 30 seconds
The SBS supervises banks, insurance and pensions in Peru. The June 2026 BaaS regulation is the key 2026 opening:
- Establishes the legal framework for fintech-bank partnerships where the fintech offers banking functions on top of a partner bank’s licence.
- Capital requirements, governance, consumer protection rules.
- Pre-publication was May 2025; final framework June 2026.
For Telegram Ads:
- BaaS-partner fintech ads can reference “SBS-supervised partner bank” framing from June 2026.
- Pre-June 2026, fintech ads should reference partner-bank arrangements explicitly.
- Crypto exchanges operate in grey zone; reference “international exchange” rather than claiming Peruvian regulatory status.
