Voucher Payments

For the longest time, Latin America has been a cash-first economy, with a large unbanked population. In some Latin American countries people don’t have easy access to credit cards enabled to make online purchases. Also, some consumers are leery of digital forms of payments due to fraud. This is why cash remains one of the preferred payment methods in the region.

How do voucher payments work?

With voucher payments, customers can pay in cash for their online purchases. After selecting this payment method at the check-out, an invoice with a barcode is generated, and the consumer can pay for it in cash at a physical store or through their online banking app. This payment method is part of the Latin Americans daily-routine for both online and offline payments. In Brazil, for example, vouchers represent 13% of the total e-commerce volume, and in Mexico, the share is 16%.

Start to offer the most popular voucher payments in the main Latin American countries, without having to set up a local entity.

Beyond Borders 2020/2021 Study

This study provides a contextualized portrait of the behavioral trends shaping the region's payments and cross-border e-commerce market, especially after Covid-19.

Domestic Credit and Debit Cards

Although credit cards are the first form of payment that comes to mind and are offered by international companies that sell in Latin America, this is not the reality in most countries. Each country has its own local cards environment, and they play an important role, enabling more people to buy online. Enterprise companies that want to achieve the region's full potential and improve approval rates must offer Credit and Debit Cards through local acquirers and bank connections. With EBANX, you can have the whole package simply and easily.

With EBANX as a local partner, merchants can accept both International and Domestic Cards, increasing the addressable market and the approval rates.

Increase your average ticket with installments

In addition to adding local cards to your strategy, offering Installments is a game-changer. Many Latin American consumers look to use Installments to fit their big-ticket purchases into their budget. Also, credit card limits are usually very low, so consumers are unable to pay for expensive purchases all at once otherwise they are left without limits for the rest of the month.

By spreading out the final price into monthly affordable payments, shoppers can make more expansive purchases at prices they are comfortable with.
