Business transactions made easy with mobile payments

Brazilian based PagPop joined Business Call to Action (BCtA), with a commitment to reach 300,000 new credit card users across Brazil.

Founded in 2006, PagPop is an emerging mobile payment company that works to increase payment options for low-income customers and small and medium size businesses. By allowing them to accept credit and debit card (TBA) payments via smart phones, landlines, or computers, the company targets low-income consumer households that have been excluded from more traditional financial banking services.

In Brazil, only an estimated 40% of the population has bank accounts which is coupled with low-rates of internet access. To meet the growing demand in accepting and making payments online, PagPop has created a system that lets individuals link the client to a nuclear family member's account and be able to pay for their services.

PagPop's main revenue stream is derived from a fee charged on each transaction. The company anticipates that the average PagPop user benefits from increased revenue from the customer base, as well as a reduction in the high rate of potential default. Many of the current users are low-income or independent professionals that are seeking an affordable system for accepting and making secure transactions.

This new commitment with the BCtA will help meet the growing needs in the mobile payment market, said Sahba Sobhani, Acting Programme Manager, Business Call to Action. We are confident that PagPop will also provide the necessary tools to reach more consumers, expand their transaction options and capability, and offer greater social inclusion.

Through its relationship with vast network of community partners, the company plans to reach more households and scale-up its model by registering users across the region. The company is focused on continuing to build distribution and raise awareness of affordable mobile technology and payment services.
