This initiative puts Banco do Brasil at the forefront of modern and efficient solutions while democratizing access to new financial technologies and providing convenience for customers as it expands the options for receiving taxes from the public sector.

“This partnership makes it possible to expand the use and access to the ecosystem of digital assets with national coverage,”

In this solution, the conversion and payment with Reais of the chosen cryptocurrency are instant, with a secure and flexible experience, for citizens and public institutions without needing a new agreement or changing the way taxes are received.
