IBIA Payment Provider Forum holds its first meeting in Rio de Janeiro and presents authorities

After its launch last week, the IBIA Payment Provider Forum convened for its first meeting in Rio de Janeiro. The initiative brings together key industry players such as OKTO, Pay4Fun, and Vpag to address the most pressing challenges facing the regulated sector. Marcelo Bueno Carneiro, Legal Director + Risk + LGPD at Z.ro Bank, and Ari Celia, Director of Institutional Relations and Advisor at Pay4Fun, will co-chair the Forum alongside the association.

The executives will work alongside four other key payment providers - Bazk, OneKey Payments, OKTO, and Vpag - to drive meaningful collaboration.

“Payment providers play a key role and have immense potential to contribute to Brazil's gaming industry. All serious players in the sector aim to develop a fair and healthy ecosystem with equal competition. This forum will play a crucial collaborative role in building, together with the government, betting operators, and society, an industry that embodies these ideals,” said Bueno Carneiro.

Their collective expertise will be instrumental in setting industry benchmarks, fostering regulatory dialogue, and ensuring a transparent and secure sports betting ecosystem in Brazil.

A well-regulated betting ecosystem depends on trusted financial services that prioritize integrity, transparency, and consumer protection. This forum will serve as a vital platform for cross-sector collaboration—aligning payments, regulatory frameworks, and market integrity.

“We’re excited about the journey ahead and look forward to making a real impact on the industry,” agreed all the representatives of the Forum’s member companies.
