The payment institution WEpayments (WE) is the newest member of the National Association of Games and Lotteries (ANJL). The company, licensed by the Central Bank, arrives at the entity to join efforts with other associates in building an honest and regulated environment in Brazil.

Founded in Curitiba (PR), in 2019, by Fernanda Zago and Matheus Gobatto, WE aims to help Brazilian and foreign companies manage their payments with agility, technology, high performance and security.

According to Larissa Iwai, director of Risk, Compliance, PLD and Legal at WEpayments, the association with ANJL is a strategic partnership that aims to strengthen the brand's presence in the Brazilian market, allowing the company to actively participate in the main discussions on national legislation.

For the president of ANJL, Plínio Lemos Jorge, the arrival of yet another payments company to the association reinforces the maturity that the sector is reaching in the country, by understanding the importance of articulation with other market agents to achieve objectives that include planning and implementation and expansion of the activities of this brand new industry in Brazil.

We welcome WEpayments as another partner in this constant exchange of ideas and decision-making that we have conducted with our associates, so that we have a healthy and prosperous business environment in our country,” says Plínio.
