Key Benefits of offering account-based transfers with EBANX
*For bank transfers, availability and confirmation time (from instant to up to 3h) can vary according to each bank
Instant payments driving financial inclusion
In rising markets, access to the traditional banking system may be a challenge - in Latin America, for example, only 28% of the population has access to a credit card issued by a bank. In this scenario, Alternative Payment Methods - specially digital wallets - fill the gap between bank accounts and card ownership: 80% of Latin Americans own at least one account.
Offering digital wallets and Pix is key to reaching a big share of customers who don't have access to - or generationally do not want to access - traditional banks.
Nearly 80% of Latin Americans own an account, but only 28% have a credit card.
