The Brazilian prepaid card market recorded significant growth in 2021. The global pandemic fueled this substantial growth in the prepaid card segment.

With increasing digitalization in the payment system, the prepaid card market also witnessed strong growth. The publisher expects the trend to continue in Brazil over the next four to six quarters, resulting in stable adoption of prepaid cards among consumers.
Digital wallets and remittance providers expanding their business in Brazil
With the growing expat community in Brazil, global payment providers are expanding their business in the country. Companies are launching alternative banking solutions to cater to the needs of the people residing and working away from the country in regions such as the United States, Italy, Portugal, and Spain, as well as also for supporting immigrants who will settle in Brazil.

With the high adoption of cashless payments in the country, food delivery startups saw increased meal and food vouchers usage amidst the pandemic. This propelled the food delivery companies to partner with payments companies to bring corporate food cards in the market for both online and offline transactions.
