EBANX will also launch at the summit an exclusive survey on the state of cross-border purchases in Brazil. In addition to field research nationwide, the poll will also bring insights from key players in the sector about the current trends and the future of this market in the country.

“We are very proud to bring together the leading digital companies in the industry, which are changing the way people buy products and services worldwide, and that are aware of the great potential of Latin America. The LatAm Cross-Border Summit will be a unique opportunity to network and learn from the best of this industry, while also gaining insights as to how to grow your business in Latin America,” says João Del Valle, EBANX co-founder and COO.

Guests will also attend closed sessions to discuss the scenarios of LatAm's key markets, such as Mexico, Argentina and Brazil, logistics solutions, and new payment products and services.
