With extra layers of security to protect its users, the system has real-time facial recognition, end-to-end encryption, and the tool also stands out for offering an additional payment channel, providing greater security and convenience for operators and customers.

The launch of OKTO MAIS marks a significant advance, bringing an innovative, highly accessible and secure solution to millions of Brazilians. By creating our native wallet on WhatsApp, we eliminate technological barriers and provide a fluid experience for users and advantages for operators.
