ProntoPaga Transforms its Operating Model in Brazil to Ensure Risk-Free Transactions
ProntoPaga, a leading payment solutions company in Latin America, announces a key transformation in its operating model for the Brazilian market.
By implementing a new model as a Technology Service Provider (TSP), ProntoPaga is setting an important milestone in the evolution of the payments industry in Brazil for the new regulated online betting market, generating a positive impact on transparency and security for operators.
This implementation takes place in a key context for the gambling sector in Brazil, where the market regulation is undergoing modifications. The new legislation, which will take effect on January 1, 2025, aims to increase control over gaming operators’ transactions, a sector that has been affected in previous years by irregular practices and tax fraud. In this scenario, ProntoPaga takes the initiative to operate under a model that ensures operators more security in the administration of their funds.
Operating Model: Payment Facilitator without Money Handling
Under the TSP structure, ProntoPaga does not manage funds in their own accounts in Brazil, instead, operator’s funds will always be in bank accounts in their own names. These accounts are opened in 3 banks, with mandates that allow these openings to be frictionless. ProntoPaga will act as a facilitator, providing its technology to process transactions securely, efficiently, and without risk.
Technology for Zero-Risk, Maximum Transparency Transactions
With a robust technological infrastructure, ProntoPaga is responsible for “routing” transactions intelligently from the operators’ accounts to banking entities, completing transactions without directly accessing the operator’s funds. This process offers operators a transparent, secure, and risk-free experience in the Brazilian market, since their funds are always intact and not mixed in bank accounts with other operator’s funds.
Trust in an Evolving Market
ProntoPaga’s adoption of the TSP model in Brazil responds to the need to adapt to a more regulated Brazilian market, where bad practices created significant irregularities. Before the new legislation, cases of tax fraud and other offenses tarnished the reputation of certain PSPs, leaving operators and clients exposed to unnecessary risks. This migration to a TSP model guarantees a clear separation between operators’ finances and payment processing, ensuring strict regulatory compliance and eliminating any risk associated with fund management. ProntoPaga will continue strengthening its presence in the region, providing cutting-edge technology that supports the evolution of payment markets and financial regulation.
Certifications and Regulations
ProntoPaga holds international certifications that guarantee the security, transparency, and reliability of its operations. Among these are PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard) and ISO 27001 certifications, which validate and ensure that transactions are protected against fraud and cybersecurity threats. The company also holds certifications related to compliance and anti-money laundering (AML) and other regulations that govern and support the regulatory compliance of its operations in the countries where it operates. This is essential to provide security to its clients and partners, especially in markets with strict regulations like Brazil. These certifications, in addition to its advanced encryption and authentication technologies, reinforce its commitment to integrity and trust in each transaction in the markets where it operates.
