As a way of thanking the national and foreign clients who visited Brazil during BiS SiGMA Americas, OKTO and Z.ro Bank and Caf, with the support of Ambiel Advogados, welcomed everyone to a dinner where each of the guests received a gift shirt signed by the former captain of the Brazilian football team, Cafu.
This action was carried out especially for the largest iGaming event in Brazil, which will have more than 300 exhibitors and expects more than 10 thousand visitors today (24) and tomorrow (25) at the Transamérica Expor Center.
OKTO CEO Filippos Antonopoulos said that the company values the issue of entertainment within iGaming and the entire industry that works towards it. “We serve millions of Brazilians who invest their money in entertainment and we value the integration of these two companies, OKTO and Z.ro Bank, which work in sync with each other. We are part of a dynamic and interactive ecosystem.”
During the dinner, Gabriel Galipolo spoke about the payment methods scenario in Brazil to customers who came especially to São Paulo for the BiS SiGMA Americas event.
Leonardo Montenegro Chaves, Country Manager at OKTO, said that the meeting was aimed at socializing with customers and partners: “The idea, more than networking, was to bring a director from the Central Bank to talk about economics and regulation.” And about bringing Cafu to sign the jerseys, he explained that “in addition to pleasing our customers, Cafu is genuinely Brazilian and represents our country to those who come from abroad, as he has always been our captain in the World Cups.”
Lisandra Pereira Branco, head of partnerships and new business at Z.ro Bank commented that “this initiative is very positive and just to thank our customers in Brazil for their affection.”
Z.ro Bank is the first multi-currency digital bank and has been consolidating itself as “The Bank of Bets”, with open APIs dedicated to pix, exchange and crypto services, in addition to a complete internet banking with payment solutions, cards and in brief investments. The fintech was accelerated by Visa, Itaú and Endeavor, in addition to being mentioned in the main startup rankings in the world.
With its motto “Creating financial solutions that don't yet exist”, the bank boomed with sports betting, and grew 1200% in revenue last year, with more than R$22 billion (US$ 4.3bn) in transactions.
