Brazil Retail Banking Market Trends and Drivers:
Digitization and consumer-centric innovation are key growth drivers for the Brazil retail banks industry. The growing middle-class population and rise in internet banking reduce the number of physical bank branches and increase accessibility in Brazil, including in rural areas. Digital channels are able to clear transactions faster and allow for better interaction with consumers, and partnerships with fintech companies and regulations support market growth.
Financial inclusion and declining interest rates are driving retail banking demand through expanded banking access to different demographics, increased savings, and higher credit demand and adoption of financial products. Regulatory modernization improves competition, diversity of offerings, and the customer experience.
Introduced in 2020, Pix has transformed Brazil’s payment system, allowing instant, free and 24/7 bank transfers. Besides consumer payments, Pix is also widely used in commercial transactions. On-demand loans have been bundled in the Pix experience, but only allocated during onboarding for users with no or little credit history. Fintech neobanks increase these features, with mobile-first access, instant approval, and alternative credit scoring.
