Market Opportunites
Modernizing the
payment landscapeIn the last decade, Brazil’s regulatory changes have boosted fintech companies. Unlike common perceptions of regulations hindering innovation, Brazil’s approach fosters competition, enhancing experiences for consumers and businesses, and promoting financial inclusion.
With a 102.4% smartphone penetration and 84.3% internet penetration, Brazil’s continued modernization provide significant tailwinds for “pro-innovation” companies.
