Ramp now supports Pix, premier payment method in Brazil

The Pix launch enables an even faster and more seamless on-ramping experience for Brazilian-based users, and a huge boost to conversion rates for web3 businesses operating in the country.

^{We’re incredibly proud to massively boost our support to Brazilian users in such quick succession. Now people in Brazil can become part of the web3 economy in seconds, compared to hours before. This move builds on our mission to make crypto available everywhere, but in particular where it’s needed most - and at the same time creates even more opportunities for both local web3 builders and our global partners looking to increase their footprint in Latin America.}

What is Pix?

Pix is a low-cost and user-friendly bank transfer method used by over 153 million Brazilians to make digital payments.

With real-time settlement and an unparalleled acceptance rate, it’s by far the most efficient payment method in the country.

Pix was created and is operated by the Brazilian central bank, and integrated into all Brazilian banks and financial institutions - meaning it’s available to the vast majority of the population.

Why Pix matters

Here are some of the benefits that Pix via Ramp brings to both users and businesses in Brazil:

• 🇧🇷 Local currency transactions: Pix works using the Brazilian Real (BRL), so there are no exchange rates to worry about;
• ⚡ Real-time settlement: your users receive crypto almost instantly
• ⬇️ Low cost: Pix costs substantially less than cards and other payment methods
• 💰 More crypto for end-users: we deliver the highest amount of crypto per BRL spent via Pix among major global crypto ramp providers
• ✅ 99% acceptance rate according to historical data by our payments partner, which means sky-high conversion rates for Brazilian users
