PicPay Brazil was founded more than ten years ago in the city of Vitória, in the State of Espírito Santo, Brazil, as a peer-to-peer (P2P) transfer platform to provide a seamless digital payment solution in a country where making payments historically was cumbersome, slow and costly. Our user-friendly solution allowed individuals to send money easily via their mobile phones any time of day, which caught the attention of millions of consumers. In just a few short years, we became one of Brazil’s leading digital wallets by number of consumers, according to information provided by the Brazilian Central Bank. After our early success with P2P payments, we noticed a gap in the broader payments ecosystem and broadened our lens to focus on improving the relationship between consumers and businesses within our platform, which led us to build a two-sided ecosystem, servicing both consumer and business customers. We were one of the first financial services companies to provide QR Code payments for businesses in Brazil, allowing our consumers to seamlessly make payments by scanning a QR Code, either in-store or online. As we grew as a company, so did the financial needs of both our consumer and business customers. We continued to innovate and deliver new solutions to address their respective needs, launching various payments, credit, insurance and investment products.
