to ‘start from scratch’ when it enters the Brazilian payments
market this year according to reports from Brazil’s financial

“The company may collaborate with financial
institutions to gain consumer trust but the partner is unlikely to

entrants to the Brazilian electronic transaction market such as
First Data and Banco Santander.
With a large emerging payments market, Brazil
is believed to have annual transactions to the sum of $250bn
