Process payments like a local

In 2020, in Brazil, a Statista research showed the online shopping revenue amounted to 24.4B, twice as much as two years earlier. Without a local payment strategy, it is almost impossible to succeed in the country since only 14% of Brazilians have access to international credit cards that are enabled to process foreign currencies.

Mastercard and Visa still dominate the market, while local credit card schemes keep growing their market share. Usage is rising firmly over the years, totaling around 100 million active credit cards.

With our local acquiring solution, your customers' credit card approval rate will increase to ever new heights.
