Overview

PagBank is one of the simplest ways for a small Brazilian business to start taking cards: buy a cheap terminal, open the free account, and choose same-day, 14-day or 30-day payout at a published price. You deal with the acquirer itself, and the terminals are cheap, carry a five-year warranty and come with a free data chip. We hold the grade at B for three reasons. Rates are scattered across several pages with promotional periods, brand differences and plan tiers that do not line up neatly. Same-day credit pricing is expensive, at 4.99% for Visa and Mastercard and 6.17% for Elo. And the contract gives PagBank wide room to reserve, hold or block a merchant's money, which is exactly what most recent complaints are about.

Best for: Micro and small businesses, sole traders and MEIs in Brazil that want a low-cost card machine with no rent, a free business account and the option of same-day access to their sales.
