About PagFinance

Brazil's Crypto-to-Fiat Payment Infrastructure

PagFinance is Brazil's crypto-to-fiat payment infrastructure. We convert cryptocurrencies into real-world payments via PIX and boletos in roughly 30 seconds, with full self-custody and transparent fees.

Mission

Why we exist

We believe cryptocurrencies shouldn't sit idle in wallets. They should be part of everyday life: paying bills, buying products, fueling the real economy. PagFinance was built to make that possible in Brazil.
