Brazil EMI & PI pathways
Launch in Brazil with a compliance-first payment strategy through PI and/or EMI-oriented licensing routes. We support structure design, authorization readiness, AML/KYC implementation and operational onboarding.
A practical view of the pathway.
We start with the exact service scope and flow of funds, then align the corporate, compliance and operational architecture around the applicable framework.
PI pathway
Commonly used for payment-service models such as processing, wallets, transfer operations and merchant-facing payment workflows.
EMI-oriented pathway
Designed for broader electronic-money and wallet structures, including issuance and expanded payment capabilities where applicable.
Compliance and integration
Projects typically combine corporate governance, AML/KYC controls, regulatory documentation and banking/payment integration readiness.
What we can help build.
Each engagement is tailored to the applicant and final activity set. Typical workstreams include:
- Brazil entity and shareholder structuring support
- Payment-service scope and authorization strategy
- AML/KYC and risk-control framework
- Payment account, wallet and transfer workflow design
- PIX/payment ecosystem readiness planning
- Regulatory-facing documentation and operational readiness
Designed around your actual product.

From scope mapping to launch readiness.

Close operational gaps, coordinate relevant providers and prepare the business for activation and ongoing maintenance.
Brazil licensing questions.
How do we choose between PI and EMI-oriented scope?
The route depends on the services, product architecture, transaction model and growth plan. We map these first before recommending a structure.
Can foreign shareholders use the route?
Many projects can be structured for international shareholders, subject to local corporate and regulatory requirements.
Can the model include wallets and merchant payments?
These are common components of Brazil payment-institution projects, subject to the exact authorization scope and implementation design.
