Banking in Brazil
Brazil’s banking sector is efficient and well developed. Expats moving to Brazil can either choose to bank at a Brazilian bank or they can use an international bank, which allows them to link back to accounts in their home country.
Banking in Brazil is costly as banks charge users a percentage for every transaction. Expats are advised to shop around to find out which bank will offer them the best deal and best suit their needs. A residence visa is required in order to open a bank account; once you have a visa it is possible to invest in the country’s Stock Exchange as well as a number of other financial institutions.
Banks are generally open between 10.00am and 4.00pm and ATMs are widely available.
