How online accounts and neobanks work in Brazil

Digital providers in Brazil let a registered company open a conta PJ online once it has a CNPJ, often within a few business days. They built their offer around the instant payment system Pix, which is widely used for business and is usually free to receive, and around low cost everyday banking. Some of these providers are banks, while others are payment institutions, which matters for how client money is held and protected. As of 11 May 2026 several charge no monthly maintenance fee, which is the main saving against the service packages that traditional banks charge for. Confirm the current terms and the protection that applies with the provider.

Neobanks compared with traditional banks

Neobanks tend to win on cost and convenience, with no monthly maintenance fee, fast online opening, free Pix and clear apps. Traditional banks tend to win on breadth and branch access, with a fuller range of credit, foreign exchange and treasury services, usually bundled into paid packages, although the central bank requires a basic essential services package. The right balance depends on whether the business values low cost and online tools or branch service and a wider product range. As of 11 May 2026 compare both against your needs and confirm the terms with the provider.
