Boleto is an official (regulated by the Central Bank of Brazil) payment method in Brazil.
To complete a transaction, customers receive a voucher stating the amount to pay for services or goods. Customers then pay the boleto before its expiration date in one of several different methods, including at authorized agencies or banks, ATMs, or online bank portals. You’ll receive payment confirmation after 1 business day, and funds will be available for payout 2 business days after payment confirmation.
