Introduction to Payments in Brazil
Boleto - Cash Payments
Boleto is a payment method supported by several Brazilian banks using the Bar Code identification code, which dominates the Brazilian market, and allows customers to authorize bank transfers at any bank or using online banking.Boleto supports more than 50,000 points of sale, including petrol stations, retail outlets, etc. This payment method is fast and easy to use, with no rejections or forgeries once the payment has been made, and is 100% secure in most areas. The payment method is fast, simple, does not generate chargebacks or counterfeiting once the payment is made, is 100% guaranteed to the merchant, and is available in most regions, making boleto the preferred choice of most Brazilian players when choosing their primary payment method.
Other payment options include PINs, which are also similar to boleto’s cash tickets but specialize in supporting larger amounts, these include ePrepag and Paymentez .
Bank transfers
In Brazil, players can also use bank transfers to make payments. The four main banks are Banco do Brasil, Banco Santander, Banco Itaú de Investimento do Brasil, and HSBC. When using these bank transfers, players are required to enter a lot of personal information, such as ID, address, and contact information. This payment method is convenient and safe in Brazil, but these processes take some time and many people are not so willing to make their personal information public.
Credit Cards
Local credit cards are also popular in Brazil, the main ones being Elo, Mercado do Livre, Hiper card, Visa/Mastercard and others. However, many payment providers are unable to offer these methods in addition to in-game international credit card payments, which are limited and hindered in Brazil.
Prepaid cards
“The most important and popular payment method for online games in Brazil are prepaid cards, which are similar to gift cards in the United States. Large and small stores display Brazil’s favorite games (often with graphics or characters displayed on the prepaid card), which players can easily see and buy, quickly paying online. “GoCash and AstroPay are two prepaid cards that are very popular in Brazil. In addition, there are many other cards. In order to meet the needs and preferences of different players, Xsolla believes that it is necessary to increase the number of categories of prepaid card payments.
