Debit Cards are thriving in the Brazilian market

In Brazil, debit cards have always been one of the most popular ways to pay for shopping at brick-and-mortar stores. As a huge part of the population doesn’t have access to a credit card, it becomes common to use the balance available in the bank account through debit cards.

Today, there are 116M active debit cards in the country. (Source: BACEN, 2019)

Now, this behavior is migrating - very massively and quickly - to online shopping, especially due to the security and innovation on this kind of transaction.

The new 3DS 2.0 protocol and also the dynamic CVV, in some cases, with a short lifespan, ensure more security and less fraudulent chargebacks.

The high level of digitalization, as well as the social isolation caused by COVID-19, are driving consumers to shop more frequently online. A big part of the Brazilian population already has a debit card, so for them being able to buy online with this payment method is a game-changer.

For online shopping, most debit card transactions require electronic authorization

These authorizations can be in the form of SMSs tokens or a QR code to be scanned. EBANX works according to the 3DS 2.0 protocol enabling merchants to prevent fraud, enable debit cards as a payment method in Brazil, and deliver an enhanced customer experience compared to the 1.0 version.

Due to the widespread accessibility of this payment method, it has a high potential for attracting Boleto Bancário users and can increase conversion rates since debit cards have real-time confirmation and the payment is done quickly at checkout.

Debit cards will revolutionize the e-commerce market in Brazil. Be a part of this movement that is still in an early stage.
