Bolivia's LIP RTGS processes BOB settlements and La Paz/Santa Cruz hosts the primary banking centre. Banco Unión (state-owned), Banco Nacional de Bolivia (BNB), and BCP Bolivia are the primary SWIFT correspondents, processing natural gas export revenues (predominantly to Brazil and Argentina), tin, zinc, and silver mining payments, and soybean export proceeds from the Santa Cruz agribusiness sector. Bolivia nationalised major utility sectors, which affects FDI payment flows.
