🇧🇷 Brazil Banco do Brasil Payment Integration Guide

Banco do Brasil, founded in 1808 and majority-owned by the federal government, is Brazil's flagship state-linked bank. With a customer base strong in public-sector payroll accounts and agricultural finance, its online banking transfer button serves as an account-based payment method targeting that customer segment.

When to consider Banco do Brasil payments in Brazil

Brazil's online payment market has Pix at roughly 40%+ share, with the remainder split between card installments and account/wallet-based methods. Banco do Brasil, founded in 1808, is one of Brazil's oldest banks and is particularly strong with government-linked customer segments such as civil servants, pension recipients, and agricultural workers. This customer group shows high trust in payments approved through a state-linked bank's screen.

The Banco do Brasil button is an effective touchpoint for merchants offering products linked to government procurement, education and certification services, or serving customer bases with a high share of regional and agricultural-area customers. For merchants centered on younger, metropolitan customers, it may be a lower priority, so it is reasonable to decide on the bank-button combination based on your customer distribution.

Basic flow of Banco do Brasil payments in Brazil

When a consumer selects Banco do Brasil at checkout, they are directed to the BB online banking authentication page, and once they log in and approve the displayed transfer details, the payment is completed. The result is notified in real time, allowing immediate order confirmation. Hecto Financial then receives the BRL proceeds, converts the currency, and pays the Korean merchant in whichever currency is specified in the contract among USD, KRW, or JPY.

Scope of Hecto Financial's Banco do Brasil support

Using Hecto Financial's integration, a Korean business can consider adopting this bank button without a separate partnership with Banco do Brasil. Given that it is exclusive to BB account holders, we recommend checking your target customers' primary bank distribution before building your bank-button lineup.

What to check before applying and integrating

  • Business registration country

    Confirm whether a contract is possible based on a Korean business entity

  • Sales channels

    The integration method and priority vary depending on your online sales channel mix, such as your own store, open marketplaces, or mobile apps

  • Product categories handled

    You need to check in advance whether your category falls under an industry restricted by Banco do Brasil's merchant policy

  • Local regulatory compliance

    You need to confirm compliance with Brazil's payment and foreign exchange regulations (see official sources below)

Settlement currency, cycle, and refund conditions

Proceeds collected via Banco do Brasil transfers are received in BRL and, after a currency conversion process, settled in whichever currency selected at contract time among USD, KRW, or JPY. Refunds for account transfer methods are processed as a return remittance, and since withdrawal requests may come in under Brazil's CDC 7-day right-of-withdrawal rule, it is advisable to operate a refund policy that specifies a return remittance deadline.

Brazil Banco do Brasil FAQ

QWhich merchants particularly benefit from the Banco do Brasil button?
Merchants with a high share of civil servants, pension recipients, and customers in agricultural regions. This customer segment has strong trust in state-linked banks, which lowers the psychological barrier to approval when selling to this segment.
QDoes being a state-owned bank create restrictions for transactions with foreign merchants?
From the consumer's perspective, it works the same as a regular online banking transfer. Contract and industry conditions for the Korean merchant can be confirmed during a Hecto Financial consultation.
QHow many days should the withdrawal period be advertised as?
Brazil's Consumer Protection Code (CDC) guarantees a 7-day right of withdrawal for online purchases starting from receipt. Advertising a shorter period in your terms would conflict with local regulations, so caution is needed.
QCan we be settled in a currency other than the real?
Yes. Proceeds are received in BRL and, after conversion, paid out in whichever currency selected at contract time among USD, KRW, or JPY. The settlement cycle and exchange rate basis follow the contract terms.
